Tu-gehena

Tu-gehena is a SOV language, however, word order is very flexible. To keep it easy to understand, case is declined as prefixes while number is declined in the article. Verbs are also conjugated for person and mood as prefixes, but voice is inflected as article.

Setting
Tu-gehena literally translates "the tongue" (but in the abstract gender). It is the language of the (fictional) Du-Zhenu people; a tribe that lived in Europe before the Indo-European invasion. It had no alphabet but one is listed here based on the Latin alphabet.

Vowels
The diphthongs are oy /oj/, ay /aj/, ey /ej/, ao /aw/ and uy /wi:/.

Phonotactics
Every letter is pronouned phonetically and only represent one sound. A word cannot begin in an vowel. Most words are a simple C(C)V(C)(C) system. Stress falls on the penultimate sylable.
