Adwan

Adwan (Ad: Áðẃana) is a partially naturalistic con-lang invented for the sake of gaining a wider understanding of general linguistics. The language itself developed a life of its own, and with each passing day, it grows with more vocabulary, more additions, and more characteristics that make it stand out from other inflecting languages.

Phonology

Adwan has a moderately unique phonology, as it has extensive use of using the consonant /j/ coupled with both vowels AND consonants, without actually having a letter for /j/. It is said that Adwan tends to sound like a mixture of Icelandic, Norwegian, Czech, Polish, and, even Welsh due to the use of the Alveolar Lateral Fricative.

Alphabet and Orthography (Åneþurav nę Şemyçav Áðẃanaz)
Adwan is a fairly phonetic language; everything is sounded out as it is written. "Pevle" will always be pronounced /pevle/, and "Ar" will always be pronounced /ar/. There are only two sound changes that aren't marked directly by the orthography, and that is the nasalization of ‘n’ and ‘m’. Generally, for a lot of consonants, ’m’ will become nasalized, and ‘n’ will become nasalized with ‘g’; so if ‘m’ isn't a dominant, stressed consonant, it will be /ɱ/; A good English example is the word "symphony". You don't say /sɪmfəni:/, you say /sɪɱfəni:/. The same rule applies to the digraph "ng"; example: it is not /si:ng/, but rather /si:ŋ/, for the ‘n’ and the ‘g’ merge, rather than being seperately pronounced.
