Fa'lysh

Alphabet
Not all of the vowels are listed here, and that is for a reason. Sometimes, (perhaps most of the time) the vowels are assumed. This means that if a word (ie shadiuz) were to be written with only 1 vowel (shduz), it is assumed that the /a/ and the /i/ are still pronounced.

However, this does pose some confusion. For instance, if someone were reading a sentence and they saw the word "shduz", they might think it would fully be spelled "shidauz" but we know that this is not the case, because there is neither an /au/ diphthong, nor there a glottal stop.

So, in essence, only the long vowels are written and the short vowels are adopted into the pronunciation of the word as to be written swiftly and easily.

"shadiuz" would be spelled شديط but pronounced /ʃadjuzˤ/

Diacritics
There are a couple diacritics, and they are used to change the pronunciation of letters. These diacritics, in F'alysh, are called xhamzai (singular xhamzah). They either look like a "u" with the top kicked over on its side to the right: ء

It is, however, always on top of, or below the ا symbol (haːliv). Like so: أ إ

Phonotactics
Since the written phonotactics differ from the spoken phonotactics, I will put both here.

(C=consonant V=vowel)

written= (C)(C)(V)(C)

spoken= (C)(C)V(V)(C)(C)

There are many combinations.
