Dtougcan is a language that I am developing for a friend's Dungeons & Dragons campaign, in which it is spoken by a class of witches and is used to cast spells. With that in mind, I am designing it to have a vaguely Celtic-inspired aesthetic, as my friend and I agreed that the Celtic aesthetic is what most readily comes to mind when thinking of witches; however, it is not a direct copy of Irish or any other Celtic language. I am also taking into consideration what grammatical features may be useful for witches.

This conlang may also later be adapted into my own conworld, Aysling.

Consonants
Dtougcan presents a sort of consonant harmony. Similar to how many languages require all of the vowels in a given word to be either front or back vowels, Dtougcan requires all of the consonants to be either "front" (palatalized) or "back" (velarized) consonants.

Writing System
Because of the nature of Dtougcan's consonant harmony system, the frontness or backness of the word is indicated by an  or an  following the initial consonant of the word. If a word begins in a vowel sound, the indicating  or  simply begins the word. Later in words,  and  indicate semivowels. In cases of ambiguity, or sometimes for ease of reading,  and  may be topped with diaereses for clarity when indicating semivowels.
