Nomnom

THIS IS UNDER MY PECULIAR REHAUL. DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING UNTIL THIS MESSAGE GOES AWAY. THANK YOU.

This language is going to be like I Lisa, but not I Lisa at all.

Phonology and Restrictions
Consonants

Vowels

Tones: (in which the horizontal one comes first and the vowel is never lengthened)

/o/ becomes [ɔ] before /m/ and /ɴ/. /ø/ becomes [œ] before /m/.

The syllable structure is (C)CVC(C), so the word has to be surrounded by consonants.

The alphabet goes left to right, consonants before vowels.

Nomnom /nomnom/ is the name of the language.

Language Overview
Nomnom's grammar is based on a LIFO stack (reverse Polish notation). The first word that is uttered is the last one that gets parsed, whereas the last word uttered is the first word parsed. As a result of this, this language uses postpositions and is OSV. The language is isolating, even though it doesn't need to be.

Some people will say that this language cannot be spoken by average human beings. This is easily proven wrong because programming languages use this notation, so we know that people can parse it when it is written and then respond by writing something which they then speak.

Proving that people can parse it spontaneously (which is what is actually unproven) is a different beast altogether. It requires some (admirable) lunatic to learn a stack-based language to the point that she/he can recall words and sentence structures.
