Rpizenq

Rpizenq (literally "our language", RPL: [r˝pi^z!enqča^]) is a language created by Neonlights for an alien race Rpizir ("ours", singular Rpiz). The sound cannot be pronounced by human mouth, since Rpizir have their own phonetic apparatus. The phonetic transcription is using Ripizian Phonetic Letters (RPL).

The Rpizir phonetic apparatus
Rpizir phonetic apparatus is called phonogone and is located above the mouth (which are used for eating). The olfactory organs (holes), also called "nostrils", are also used in phonogony (creation of voices).

Creation of voices
The voices are created by vibrating the vocal chords thus producing sound. The sound is processed in the Great Spindle, which lowers the frequency of the sound making it able to understand and hear. The processed sound is shaped with plates (superplatae and infraplatae), which form the phoneme by gliding over one another, such as insect apparati. Additional organs that form the phonemes are nostrils, lips (superlabia and infralabia), whistle (fistula) and the soft plate or the tongue (which models the phonemes by touching the macula or the palate). The salivary glands create saliva to lubricate the organs inside the apparatus.



The Ripizian Phonetic Letters table
The RPL table consists of consonants (plates, the tongue and/or the nostrils are used in forming), vowels (no obstruction, pure voice) and fistulatives (whistle is used in forming).
