The phonology makes me want to cry. [This has been a Public Service Announcement from your Friendly Neighbourhood Admin.] 00:09, October 5, 2015 (UTC)

Why? I've always wanted to make a language with a fortis-lenis distinction that doesn't involve voicing. I'm probably just going to make more too. Joersc (talk) 01:53, October 5, 2015 (UTC)

I speak one of those and the distinction is a bit more complex than that. The distinction can involve voicing and aspiration, where the lenis is partially voiced and the fortis is aspirated, and some characteristic dialects to the south even have [k͡x ɡ̊] for /k g/. The distinction in fricatives is more close to being one of voicing, with /s z f v/ being most like [s z v̥ v], where /s/ often ends up being the most fortis one. It's often a bit more complex than "fortis-lenis that doesn't involve voicing". 07:53, October 5, 2015 (UTC) ~) The Elector, Darkness Immaculate
