Malki

Setting
Malki (pronounced [ 'malɣ.ki̠ ] ) is a Slavic language characterised by its velarisation instead of palatalisation. This is due to "ъ", the hard sign also known as the (back) jer/yer. Instead of "ь", frontal jer/yer, collapsing into a secondary articulator, the back jer collapsed into a velarisator.
