Tumacan is the most grammatically conservative surviving descendant of Old Eevo; it's spoken in the island nation of Tumaca.
Idea
"Hiberno-Arabic" aesthetic (emphatic vs. palatalized; predominantly a á i í u ú; weight-sensitive stress; no gemination, tho). Basically it will sound a lot like Varquun.
- Epenthesize initial clusters. Ex. Then. briHants > OEe bríong, in bhríong > Tum barîng, an-varîng "bivalve mollusk"
- Final -ach becomes -ah as in Eevo.
Consonants (doubled = phar'zed)
