Varðinekvas

Varðinekvas is a conlang by The Kaufman which has plagiarized absorbed a lot of ideas from Indo-European languages. Not much more to say except a lot of stupid setting.

Consonants
/m n ŋ ɲ p t k b d g f v θ ð s z ʂ ʐ ɣ x h r j tʂ dʐ tɕ/ 

Vowels
/i e ɛ y ø ɪ ə u ɑ o ɔ ɒ Vɪ Vʊ/ <í é e y ö i - u a ó o á Vi Vu>

Phonotactics
The syllable structure is (C)(C)V(C)(C), and more to be done.

Allophony
If a voiced sound occurs in the end of a word, it's often devoiced.

If a plosive or an affricate occurs in the end of a word, a schwa is (seldom) placed after it. Example: rraþpádárd /dʐɑθ.pɒ'dɒr.tə/ or /dʐɑθ.pɒ'dɒrt/ "civil war"

If  occurs after velars, it becomes /w/. Example: /'nɛ.kwɑs/ "language"

Stress
The stress pattern is varying (like in Slavic languages) but the predominant stress is on first syllable. 

Sound changes
So, the language isn't all that IE, but some words come from PIE directly. Say, it's like Armenian, but a load less Caucasian-like.

Features

 * PIE roots left almost unchanged
 * retained most of the endings
 * most aspirated plosives become their fricative counterparts
 * most palatalized velar plosives become retroflex fricatives, aspirated palatalized velar plosives behave in the same way as their plain counterparts
 * some vowels and /VS/ (vowel-semivowel) sequences become diphthongs
 * most /VSV/ sequences become diphthongs
 * laryngeals become /ɒ/ in most cases; rarely their realization depends on a neighboring vowel.
 * no defined infinitive
 * fronting of vowels after fricatives developed from (unaspirated) palatalized plosives
