Taku ro simu

Classification and Dialects
Taku ro simu means "simple tongue". It was an effort to create an easily pronounceable and easily learnable language. This is not an IAL necessarily, just a personal challenge to create a simple language. It's like Toki Pona, but not quite so basic and without the Taoist philosophy.

Consonants
The chart has been heavily simplified. /m/, /p/, and /b/ are bilabial, and /v/ is labiodental. /ʃ/ is post-alveolar, /r/ is a trill and /j/ is an approximant, /k/ and /g/ are velar, and /j/ palatal. The speaker can take liberties in the pronunciation of these sounds if it is more comfortable. Most notably, /p/ can be pronounced as /f/ if needed, /b/ as /β/, /v/ as /w/ or /ʋ/, /ʃ/ as /tʃ/ (or some variant), /j/ as /ʝ/ (or some variant), /g/ as /dʒ/, /r/ can be whatever rhotic sound is most comfortable, or /r/ can be pronounced simply as /l/. The stops /p/, /t/, and /k/ should preferably be aspirated. For speakers whose native tongue doesn't have voicing distinctions in their stops this is especially important (/p/, /t/, and /k/ should be aspirated and /b/, /d/, and /g/ should be aspirated /p/, /t/, and /k/). /t/, /d/, and /n/ can also be dental.

Vowels
Many liberties can also be taken in pronouncing the vowels. Namely, /i/ can be pronounced as /ɪ/ if needed, /e/ as /ɛ/, /o/ as /ɔ/, and /a/ as /ɑ/, /ɒ/, or /æ/. Vowels can also be freely rounded or unrounded as needed.

Phonotactics and Stress
Taku ro simu tries to mainly keep a CV syllable structure as much as possible. Otherwise, you may see V, CVC, and VC. CVC syllable structures also try to make the last C a liquid, like in Toki Pona.

Stress in taku ro simu is completely free. If you want standardization in this regard, you may put stress on the vowel before the last consonant, like in Pandunia.
