Miao

Classification and Dialects
Miao is a cat language

Consonants
Cats can't control their throte well enough to stop voicing, so all of the fonemes end up voiced

Also, they have a distintion between velar trills and fricatives, that are difficult for humans to hear and discern.

Vowels
Vowels in Miao are a rare occurance, cats can't control their voice but they can control the position of their jaw, this presents as a paradigm between w and y in initial and final position of the nucleus, and they can also control the extend at which they open their mouth, creating 2 levels of maximum openness.

There are some addings: Every time when a nucleus is alone, the first i is replaced with an y, same with u and w. also whenever labials are followed by uao or uai, it shortens them to ao [aŏw] or ai [aĕj], the same happens with palatals and iao or iai

Phonotactics
(C)N(Ci, Cu)

Writing System
The way that Miao is romanized is a compromise between the capabilities of the Latin Alphabet and the phonemes.
