Cjư

General information
Cjư (/ t͡ɕ ɯ/) is a priori conlang. It is designed to sound bizarre, but not too difficult to learn and speak.

Phonology

Consonants

 * /n/ and /ŋ/ are realized as [ɴ] before [χ] and [ʁ]
 * /n/ is realized as [ɲ] before [j], [ɥ], and [ǂ]
 * /w/ is realized as [ɥ] before [j]
 * /s/ and /t͡s/ become [ɕ] and [t͡ɕ], respectively, before [j] or [ɥ]

Alphabet

 * The dot ( · ) or, diaeresis ( ¨ ) in the case of Ï, indicates rounding of a vowel who is by default unrounded.
 * The horn ( ̛ ) indicates unrounding of a vowel who is by default rounded.
 * The letter J has no phonological value, but rather acts as an in-line diacritic for palatalization.

Phonotactics
Syllable stucture is defined as (C)(j)V(K) where: Therefore, a syllable cannot end in the phonemes /ʔ, z, ʑ, ʁ, d͡z, d͡ʑ, ɥ**/, or /ǂ/.
 * C is the onset. It is any consonant*.
 * j is the medial. It is any semivowel.
 * V is the nucleus. It is any vowel.
 * and K is the coda. It cannot include any voiced fricative, voiced affricate, click, /ʔ/, or /ɥ/**.


 * First syllables of a word do not start with /ʔ/, but any following syllables of a word can.
 * Allophonically, /ɥ/ can end a syllable because /w/ can. /w/ is realized as [ɥ] before an onset [j].

Verbs
All verbs are regular in Cjư, so once conjugation is learned, any verb can be conjugated. This is done by changing the ending of a verb. There are two types of conjugation in Cjư. They are Post-vowel (VCo) and Post-coda (KCo) conjugations.

Post-Vowel

 * These conjugations apply to verbs whose infinitives end in a vowel followed by a consonant plus the vowel o. They feature suffixes.
 * VCo:
