Xiôngū Tuái Phè

Introduction
Xiôngtù Tuái Phè (I will refer to it as Xiôngtù) is a language I'm creating. It is an isolation tonal language that's inspired by Chinese and Vietnamese. It has 18 consonants and 5 vowels with 4 sets of tones, making 20 vowels in total. The four tones are high, mid, low, and falling. Morphology is non-existent in the language, so particles replace affixes. For example, the word rōm means "many", so it is used as a plural marking.

Tones
Tones are extremely important in Xiôngtù, as it is a tonal language. There are four tones, and they are high, mid, low, and falling. The high tone (natively known as the phái tone) is represented by an acute accent, like in huántō (dog). The phái tone is always stressed. The mid tone (known as the kuāng tone) is represented by a macron, like in the word jiāngò (window). The low tone (known as the hàing tone) is represented by a grave accent, like in raù (to eat), the rising tone (known as the saùkọng tone) is represented by a dot below the vowel like in kèsoụ (cake), and the falling tone (known as the sê tone) is represented by the circumflex accent like in the word xiângchù (computer). You can't just put random tones together. There is tone harmony. Two tones rarely occur twice in a word (in rare cases, the kuāng tone can occur twice, like in tāmōng). Also, there is a relationship between the tones, mainly with the saùköng and the sê tones. The sê tone can only be used when it is the first syllable of a word, or if it is preceded by the phái tone. If it occurs at the beginning of a word, the only tone that can follow it is the hàing tone. The saùkọng tone is very rare and can only ever be used after the hàing tone.

Phonotactics
Xiôngtū has pretty simple phonotactics. Its syllable structure is basic, and the orthography is very consistent.

Syllable Structure
The syllable structure is C(G)V(X)

C = all consonants*

G = glides /w, j/**

V = all vowels

X = nasals + a few other letters /m, n, ŋ, s, ɾ/

* The letter /ŋ/ is not allowed to begin a syllable. It can only occur syllable final.

** The glides are actually represented by the vowels i and u.

Orthography
For now, my language will use the Latin script. However, I might try creating a script for my language, most likely an alphabet or logography.

Grammar
Welcome to the fun part of this article, the grammar. Xiôngtū is an isolation language, meaning that it has no morphology. Instead, separate morphemes are put next to the main morpheme to change its meaning. For example, I will decode the language's name, Xiôngtū Tuái Phè. The first noun is Xiôngtū. The word Tuái is used whenever the main noun is relating to something. The word Phè means language. In conclusion, Xiôngtū Tuái Phè is really just a phrase that refers to a language related to Xiôngtū.

Syntax
Xiôngtū has a head-initial grammar.
