Vattic

=Phonology=

Vowels
Vattic distinguishes between long and short vowels, and as such has a symmetrical system of 6 short vowels and 6 long. The phonetic quality of these vowel pairs does not differ, just the duration.

There are no dipthongs in Vattic, and vowels do not come into contact with eachother. If a situation arises where two vowels would need to be placed next to eachother (such as in compound words or the addition of a suffix), an auxillary 'n' is placed inbetween them. This is highlighted in the following: "dégge" ('heel') + "órogṍ" ('high') = "déggenórogṍt" ('high heels (shoes)').
