Nuro'to

Setting
Nuro'to is the official language spoken in the International Extraterrestrial Settlement, which was established by American, British, French, Spanish, German, and Japanese Scientists in the "Alternate Settlement Project". As such, it is a combonation of the 5 languages, and its name officially translates to "The Zeroth Language", or "Language Zero".

Phonology
The alphabet belonging to Nuro'to has 13 "base characters": a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, o, u, w, and y.

However, to get the full range of Romanic consonants, accents are added to the characters. These accented characters are called Venji (Vayn-jee). Some Venji cannot be typed, so a font called Nuro'to is in development for the purpose of typing.

Dipthongs + Consonant Clusters
The dipthongs in Nuro'to are as follows: When a dipthong wants to be combined with a vowel (which rarely occurs) an apostrophe is added. a'ua (a-wa)

In the ways of Consonant Clusters, any amount of PRONOUNCEABLE consonant combonantions are made; apostrophes are put in between each pronounced consonant.

Phonotactics
In Nuro'to, Consonant Clusters are made by placing any amount of pronounceable consonants together. (example: Et'g'l'sa: "name" of god) As long as apostrophes are placed in between letters, the consonants are pronounced. If there is no apostrophe, only the first consonant is pronounced (ex: leranbu [lay-rahn-oo] "to learn"), excepting the case of rr, which causes a trilled r.

Basic Grammar
Nuro'to is a SOV language. It is written like English, excepting the sentence pattern.
