Proto-Ladippic (PLad; qo:nga la:Dippe) is the common ancestor of the Dwischaric languages including Mandarin Orange. It is inspired by an older draft of Praimhín's Proto-Pulchric.

Phonology

Consonants

Labial Coronal Palatal Dorsal Laryngeal
plain emph. plain emph. plain emph.
Nasal m /m/ M /mʶ/ n /n/ N /nʶ/ ng /ŋ/ NG /ɴ/
Stop tenuis p /p/ P /pʶ/ t /t/ T /tʶ/ k /k/ q /q/
voiced b /b/ B /bʶ/ d /d/ D /dʶ/ g /ɡ/ G /ɢ/
Fricative h /h/
Trill/Tap r /ɾ/ R /ɾʶ/
Approximant w /w/ l /l/ L /lʶ/ y /j/

Emphatic consonants are uvularized, as in Arabic.

Aspiration is allophonic in voiceless stops. The Luminese dialect aspirates stops more strongly than in the Rencadic dialect.

Gemination

Every consonant except /w j h/ can occur geminated between vowels. Geminate taps are realized as trills.

Gemination is indicated in the orthography by doubling the consonant letter; geminate ng and NG are written nng and NNG respectively.

Vowels

  Front Central Back
short long short long short long
Close i /i/ i: /iː/ u /u/ u: /uː/
Mid e /e/ e: /eː/ o /o/ o: /oː/
Open a /a/ a: /aː/

Diphthongs: /ai/ /au/ (written ai au respectively)

Phonotactics

Only CV syllables are allowed, except:

  • a geminate consonant can begin a non-initial syllable
  • CVC and CVCː are allowed as the last syllable

Stress

Stress is almost always on the first long syllable, or if no syllable is long, the last syllable in the Rencadic dialect and the first syllable in the Luminese dialect.
