Thärín

I am just getting started with this & am at the "things I didn't know I didn't know"/"Wikipedia everything" stage, so if you notice I've set myself up with something stupid, illogical, or self-contradictory please do let me know.

General information
Thyärín (Therian), the primary language of Thyärí, originated as a nomadic dialect of Illiaster. The languages diverged following the Wars of Dust, when the remaining Thyêq tribes settled on the northern coast and came into contact with Saen-speaking sailors from the Isles. Thyärí retains many structural elements from Illiaster, but the pronunciation has evolved considerably and words were adapted from Saen and Relian to fill gaps in the Thyêq's vocabulary.

Vowels
Monothong vowels are an Illiaster element no longer present in Thyärín, which instead uses twelve dipthong vowels. While in Illiaster the dipthongs are composed strictly by combining the four base monothings a, ə, ɪ, and ʊ, Thyärín has expanded to use eight.

Alphabet
Thyärín did not have a set alphabet prior to the settlement of Thyärí, when written records became increasingly necessary. Illiaster has two written forms, but the Thyêq sought to establish independence from Illias and instead the Relian alphabet was adapted to form a new Thyärín calligraphic script.

Phonotactics
Syllables consist of [C][V].

The consonant Y is muted to allow for words with preliminary vowels, prefix-vowel, or consecutive vowels.
