Consonants

 * 1) velar nasal can be writen ñ or ñq
 * if posible, nasals have to be writen as in IPA
 * the ñ in any nasal or prenasalized consonant can be writen as n for simplification, in wich case, velar nasal is writen nq.
 * voiced fricatives are approximants when between vowels but not at the begining of the word
 * when glottal stop is the first letter of the word, the ' is not writed but still pronounced

Vowels
Diphtongs: there are ony falling diphtongs
 * 1) /a/ is pronounced [ɑ] in back-falling diphtongs and after a labio-velar consonant
 * front-falling diphtongs can't be after a palatal consonant, in the same syllable
 * back-falling diphtongs can't be after a labio-velar consonant, in the same syllable

Alphabet
Latin alphabet mode: A M P B F V E N T D TH DH I R L O Ñ K G H Q U C J X Y W S Z

a m p b f v e n t d th dh i r l o ñ k g h q u c j x y w s z

Uppercase is used to write foreign words and proper names only.

Phonotactics
The phonotactic is very basic and common. Words can have up to three syllables. Syllable structure: CV

C can be any consonant, and V can be a vowel or a diphtong
 * mono-syllabic words can't have prenasalized or presibilantized consonants

Stress
Stressed syllable is determined by the weight of syllables. The heavier syllables is stressed.

The weight is determined by the consonant and the presence/absence of diphtong: If stressed syllable is not the last in the word, its vowel has a circunflex ^ on it for easier read, for example:
 * if the syllable has a diphtong, its weight is increased by 2 if front-falling or 1 if back-falling
 * if more than one are the syllables with the highests weight level, the one that has a front vowel is stressed; if two or more have front vowel the last of them is stressed


 * stress in last syllable: wiju [wi.ɟu'], reskwai [ɾe.skwaj'], ñwoju [ŋwo.ɟu']
 * stress not in last syllable: fûñwi [fu'.ŋwi], xêunya [çew'.ɲa], nkwê'e [ŋkwe'.ʔe]
