welcome to the page for yama-pali-auk! this language was created by me, katherine "kaw57" awesome, on 2023 dec 20 at 19:24 utc-6:00 and is actively being worked on by me to this day. i don't remember why i originally created it, but i am currently planning to use it as either the common tongue in my conworld or the ancestor to all the catwoman languages. more about them at some point in the future, maybe. keep your eyes peeled! <br> | welcome to the page for yama-pali-auk! this language was created by me, katherine "kaw57" awesome, on 2023 dec 20 at 19:24 utc-6:00 and is actively being worked on by me to this day. i don't remember why i originally created it, but i am currently planning to use it as either the common tongue in my conworld or the ancestor to all the catwoman languages. more about them at some point in the future, maybe. keep your eyes peeled! <br> | ||

/n/ can be rendered as [ŋ] preceding /k/ ; /l/ is often [ɫ] ; /p/, /t/, and /k/ are usually fricated in the coda position, becoming [f], [s~θ], and [x~h~ç] respectively ; /i/ may also be [ɪ] at times ; /u/ may be [ʊ], and /w/ may be [v~ʋ] ; /e/ is often [ɛ] ; /o/ can be [ɔ] ; /a/ is likely the most explicitly varied vowel here, with a range of [ɑ~æ~ɐ~ə] ; and /au/ is actually [au̯~aʊ̯]. there is doubtlessly a lot more allophony going on than i've documented, but i'm not a professional and separately don't enjoy listening to clips of my voice repeatedly to figure out exactly what sound i'm producing. <br> | /n/ can be rendered as [ŋ] preceding /k/ ; /l/ is often [ɫ] ; /p/, /t/, and /k/ are usually fricated in the coda position, becoming [f], [s~θ], and [x~h~ç] respectively ; /i/ may also be [ɪ] at times ; /u/ may be [ʊ], and /w/ may be [v~ʋ] ; /e/ is often [ɛ] ; /o/ can be [ɔ] ; /a/ is likely the most explicitly varied vowel here, with a range of [ɑ~æ~ɐ~ə] ; and /au/ is actually [au̯~aʊ̯]. there is doubtlessly a lot more allophony going on than i've documented, but i'm not a professional and separately don't enjoy listening to clips of my voice repeatedly to figure out exactly what sound i'm producing. <br> | ||
most phonemes are romanized as their ipa representation. /i~j/ and /u~w/ can be represented as ⟨ i / j / y ⟩ and ⟨ u / w / v ⟩ respectively and in free variation. <br> | most phonemes are romanized as their ipa representation. /i~j/ and /u~w/ can be represented as ⟨ i / j / y ⟩ and ⟨ u / w / v ⟩ respectively and in free variation. <br> | ||
