Ánagin

General information
Ánagin is spoken on the island of  Tánagwer, on the planet of Condora. Aside from Tánagwer, standard Ánagin, as well as variant dialects of Ánagin, is found on nearby islands such as Orása, Ésan and Batárn, and many more.

Consonant digraphs
There are a few digraphs that consist of consonants in Ánagin. One, [ps] or [p͡s], actually is not a digraph - since it is a separate letter in the Tneddaf alphabet (called Tēdáva in Ánagin) used by Ánagin and several other languages. It is only sometimes considered a digraph because it is transliterated as two letters: the 'digraph' ps is generally used, though some linguists prefer to alternatively use ṕ or even ψ (from the Greek letter psi). However, these use can be considered rather uncommon.

The real consonant digraphs in Ánagin are ny and rs. They are pronounced respectively as [ɲ] and [ʒ]. It should be kept in mind, however, that the presence of these two digraphs is relatively rare. Furthermore, there is the digraph cs that can only be found in a very small amount of words used only on the islands of Hátsobnekh, Dzátsanē and Bwáwen. It is similar to a long c [t͡ʃ], thus: [t͡ʃː].

Vowels
Above are the vowels present in Ánagin. Noted should be that /y/ and /æ/ are relatively rare vowels. Besides, [ä] and [a] (plus [äː] and [aː] in fact) are allophones of the phoneme /a/, hence the indication ä ~ a.

When it comes to dialects, there are some deviations from the standard pronounciation of the vowels. On the islands west of Vónadar, Úskata and Trēábo, /e/ is pronounced [eɪ], / æ/ is pronounced [e], and / ɑ/ becomes [ ɛ ]. On Batárn, /y/ is often realised as [u].
