Overall Language Characteristics
The new language is designed to be an auxiliary Terran language. As such, it features a balance between complexity and expressive features. Current idea is for it to be lightly inflected, with a tendence to isolating (same level as English?). A few unique innovations are also supposed to be present in the language.

Proposed

 * Dual Pronouns
 * Artificial/Natural "Genders"
 * head-first nominative-accusative
 * head-first direct

Proposal 1

 * Vowels: a, e, i, o (ɔ), u, ǝ (^)
 * Tones: à (aʔ), á (a:), ã
 * Consonants: p, t, k, s, f, r, m, n, ng (ŋ), nq (N), q, x, w, y, h, nh (ɲ) all same as IPA unless specified in parentheses, stress on first syllable


 * Diphthongs: aw, iw, ow, ǝw, ay, ey, oy, ǝy (by Detectivekenny)

Proposal 2

 * Vowels: a e i o u
 * Consonants: b d f g k l m n p r s t v w y z
 * Diphthongs: ng, ay, ey, oy

Vocabulary
Proposal: Roots from Chinese, Greek/Latin, German, Hindi, Arabic, and also self-originating. Probably a good starter for languages. However it may be a good idea to omit Hindi if the words end up being choppy and short. With my phonology system it would be possible to have a Vietnamese or Quai'op-like system, which would eliminate a lot of ambiguity that would arise in a non-syllabic system. However it would be difficult to include infixes. —Detectivekenny; (Info) Preceding text certified by R. Xun as of 02:04, May 28, 2010 (UTC)

Idioms
Proposal:

If this is an auxlang, better stay away from idioms. —Detectivekenny; (Info) Preceding text certified by R. Xun as of 02:04, May 28, 2010 (UTC)

Agreed. Razlem 18:16, May 28, 2010 (UTC)
