Alice's Adventures in Wonderland/2 (andarinyë) is a Talmic language spoken in Andaegōr. It is intended to be a parody of Quenya (particularly its overall coronal-heaviness)

m > ny

p > hy

b > y

t > t

d > r (nd > nd)

c g > t d

θ δ > t-/lt, d-/ld

non-quenya clusters > quenya clusters like ls > ld

no, i think it should be δ > ld/l-

vowels can just hiatus together

quenya diphthongs: iū iō ae ao ui ȳ > iu eu ai au oi ui

y > i
