Psychi

Classification and Dialects
Psychi is an language spoken by a fictional telepathic society that was collectively outcast by the population for fear of their telepathy revealing too many secrets. While being able to freely communicate telepathically may completely eliminate the need to use one's voice at all, they have retained it solely for the purposes of urgent exclamations and clarifying or reiterating their telepathic speech in real time. While most words are so rarely used, they may be considered archaic, such words will be included for the purpose of tying together a slightly more usable spoken language for those who may not be gifted with telepathy. Since the forms of spoken words and their meanings can be explained by the speaker's simultaneous telepathic message, the need for a rigid standard in words is largely arbitrary, yet there is a dialectal continuum largely spanning between northern and southern Psychi as well as a slightly isolated dialect in the west.

Phonology
Given the relatively miniscule vocabulary required to speak Psychi, the sounds have been similarly reduced since there are less independent lexical items to distinguish.

Consonants

 * Half the sounds can be pronounced with or without voicing, with southern Psychi preferring voiced plosives and voiceless fricatives, and sorthern Psychi preferring voiceless plosives and voiceled fricatives.
 * h is replaced by the velar fricative "x" in western Psychi

Vowels

 * western Psychi lacks ɛ and instead uses either i or a, while [u~o] is exclusively pronounced /u/.
 * dialects pronounce [u~o] as either /u/ or /o/ and view the sound as one single phoneme. north tends to pronounce /u/, and south /o/
 * ə is present in all dialects but only romanized in western, due to the e being unused. Otherwise, the unstressed syllables will tend to be ə or at least a more reduced/relaxed version of the letter shown.

Phonotactics

 * Gernerally, Psychi follows (C)V(K)*
 * C being any consonant, except that ɾ cannot begin a word
 * V being any vowel
 * K being legal codas: m, n, l, s~z, [p~b], [t~d], [k~g]
 * Word final phonemes: m, n, l, s~z, ʃ~ʒ
 * north Psychi allows s+consonant clusters word-initially
 * north Psychi allows geminate consonants word-internally
 * south Psychi doesn't use ʃ~ʒ for any codas, replacing with s~z
 * west Psychi allows plosive codas; p, t, k word-finally

Writing System
While the society has a written language, it is completely disconnected from Psychi. As such, the romanization of Psychi will utilize ipa characters where possible with the exception of /j/ written as . Otherwise θ > th, ð > dh, ʃ > sh, ʒ > zh, and ɾ > r. If the voicing distinction is unneeded, the voiceless form th and sh will be used. As for vowels, ɛ > e, and , will be used where the dialect in question pronounces it /o/ or /u/ respectively. as western Psychi lacks /ɛ/, the /ə/ will be shown as 

Grammar
Words in Psychi normally cover a broad theme, which is also normally confined to a verb, noun, or descriptor sense, and certain modifiers are added to shift the role of the word to being another part of speech where needed. None of the words inflect for the usual categories like tense, aspect, or number, as the telepathy carries the more nuanced information.

Syntax
When multiple words are needed, the sentence will normally follow SVO by default. However, given that speech is more fluid and fundamentally optional, the most important or emphasized information will be noted first, followed by any clarifying information. This can be done without changing or adding any words, since the listener can tell whether a noun is acting as subject, object, or even location by their connection to the speaker's mind. As the priority is importance based, descriptor words and adpositions would go either before or after relative to their importance compared to their nouns. "under table" would occur where emphasis is on something being specifically under the table, and "table under" would occur where the fact that the table is involved is more important than the thing happening under it.

Pronouns
While pronouns exist and even find some use for emphasis, they are largely dropped in favor of more important information. The distinction of plurality is usually only present to really emphasize its importance such as "WE are doing this", not just the speaker or listener. The major dialects have diverged in many areas of pronunciation and thus pronouns have shifted a bit. While it's easy to see the connection between the words, their forms are all completely separate by this point. Oddly, while the north and south have lost their third person pronouns in favor of saying something like "that person/thing", west Psychi has actually regrown them to specify third person singular and plural.
