5ui2y

⁵ui²y is a Musical conlang created by InfernalToast/Nondescrypt for the third annual Scratch Conlanging Studio contest.

Classification
⁵ui²y is an engilang (engineered language)

Vowels
Vowels can also be nazalized (ⁿ) and breathy ( ̥)

* slightly higher than the /æ/ of General American English

Tones
This language has 5 levels of tones, all of which can/are combined in different ways to expand the range of possible sounds. Each of the tones, ordered 1 to 5 in ascending order, is one of the 5 notes on the pentatonic scale.

"_________" (lit. soundflow)
The bar "|" along the three dots ". . ." denotes the position of the main flowing line of the word in ⁵ui²y Script.

Romanization
When there is a slide from one tone to another, it will be written as (StartingTone)(EndingTone)[vowel(s)](FinishAscention).For example, if you are moving from note E to note G during the vowels ɯ, i, and ɘ, it is written as 45wie5.. The "." denotes that the next note will be jumped to directly, without a slide.

When you waver around in note but remain at a single vowel, it is written (StartingTone)/(Waver1)/(Waver2)/(etc.)[vowel] (denoted by the "/" between tones). It is assumed that once a vowel is changed, it will remain at the final tone on the next vowel unless otherwise noted. Length of each tone, unfortunately, cannot be denoted in the romanization; however, it is denoted by the length of the line in the original script.

The specific notes used in the scale of 5ui2i can be divided into a few different modes, called registers.

Concatenation of Words
When two words are combined to make a new word, they will typically be joined by a -u- particle between them. It takes on whichever note is most convinient for the speaker and often acts as an intermediate point for the note to trasition smoothly, as in a singular word.
