Background

Cháwita was designed to be the ancient language of a specific conworld I wanted to make. Since the conworld would be based around Cháwita, I first had to design this conlang to a working extent. As that isn't done yet, I still haven't made made anypart of the conworld.

Stress

Cháwita follows a very basic stress pattern, where the stress always falls on the penultimate syllable. When there is an irregular stress, an accent mark is used. The acute accent is used with unrounded vowels [a, e, i], while the grave accent is used with rounded ones [o, u].
