(Note: Both verb conjugations and noun declensions are noun declensions.)

I tried to contradict multiple linguistic universals and make strange sounds, while also making a language with an artificial history. Eventually, I ended up not contradicting all that many, honestly.

This language can be analyzed as using a zero copula in every sentence, because it has no verbs. It does have direct markers. Also, it lacks stops and fricatives (though it could be argued that certain approximants are fricatives).

History?
This language exists on somewhere that isn't Earth. This is a language that is spoken on the home planet of the world.

Some of them originally wrote down the name of the language as "Afono(d)zov" or "Asonobov", after hearing [ɯɸ̺ɤn̼̊ɤð̼ɤʋ](my language) as something like "(a/u)(s/hw/f/th)(o/u)(n/m)(o/u)(b/v/w/z/l)(o/u)(v/w)" as a whole. Eventually, "Asonobov" prevailed, despite "ahwonowow" being slightly more accurate (hence, Asonobov redirects here).

UNIVERSALS CONTRASTED SO FAR:

All languages have stops, fricatives, and bilabial consonants. All languages have a front vowel

Consonants
WIP


 * These are pronounced with the tongue almost behind the lips.

Vowels
Syllabic Consonants = ʁ̞, ʟ̠ (uvular or pharyngeal)

Phonotactics
The language is V(C), and the words are pronounced vowel-consonant. For example, Arabic would be pronounced ar.ab.ic, and not a.ra.bic.

The stress of a word is based on where it is in the utterance. All utterances follow an iambic pattern.

UNIVERSALS CONTRASTED SO FAR:
All languages have stops. All languages have either bilabials, fricatives or nasals. All languages have a front vowel. All languages can have a consonant before a vowel without a vowel before it.
