Darahti

General information
Darahti (native, nom. "nDaráhca") is a language spoken on the outer fringes of the Eastern Swamps. Its closest neighbours are the Eastern Wargs (of the Wargish language family) and as such, Darahti has acquired a moderate amount of Wargish morphological, syntactical and phonological elements. It is a member of a mostly-defunct language family once spoken across a wide strip of the eastern shore that has mostly been supplanted and/or suppressed by Wargish tongues. Nowadays, it only has a small handful of living relatives, all of which nearly extinct; Darahti is the most widely-spoken member of its family.

Consonants
/p b t d c ɟ k ɡ/ /f θ s h/  /m n ɳ ŋ/  /w r j ɰ/

Vowels
/a a: e e: ø ø: ɨ ɨ: ʉ ʉ: ɜ ɜ: ɞ ɞ: ɤ ɤ: o o:/ 

Allophony
Non-initial voiced plosives become fricatives: {/b d ɟ g/} > {[β ð ʝ ɣ]} / V_V Voiced plosives coming after nasals are realised as plosives: {/b d ɟ g/} > {[b d ɟ g]} / N_ Sonorants assimilate in place of articulation to a plosive if one is present in the cluster: /L/ > [ɑPOA] / P[ɑPOA]_; _P[ɑPOA]

The phoneme /h/ is pronounced as [xʲ] before front vowels and [x] otherwise, unless it undergoes a particular kind of assimilation when before plosives: {/hp ht hc hk/} > {[fp θt ɕtɕ xk]}

Phonotactics
In Darahti, there are very few clusters permitted; a consonant cluster must consist of either a homorganic combination of fricative or nasal and a voiceless plosive (with the exception of /h/ as noted in the allophony section), or of a homorganic obstruent-sonorant combination.
