THIS IS UNDER MY PECULIAR REHAUL. DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING UNTIL THIS MESSAGE GOES AWAY. THANK YOU.

This language is going to be one of the Kranto-Fenikic languages, very distantly related to Kranti. Do not expect it to show up in Astral Tale.

Phonology and Restrictions
Consonants

Vowels

Tones: (in which the horizontal one comes first and the vowel is never lengthened)

/o/ becomes [ɔ] before /m/ and /ɴ/. /ø/ becomes [œ] before /m/.

The syllable structure is (C)CVC(C), so the word has to be surrounded by consonants.

The alphabet goes left to right, consonants before vowels.

Nomnom /nomnom/ is the name of the language.

Grammar
Nomnom is part of the Kranto-Fenikic language family, more on the Fenikic side of the spectrum. It has been described as "like a cat meowing".

Stack Word Order
It is mildly stack-based, insofar as you have the power to end sentences and change the positions of words within a stack (even though you don't need to expressly do that for reasons described below).

Sentence Word Order
The horizontal one shows what is prior; the vertical one shows what isn't.
