I decided to not publish it on the wiki. Completely unrelated to previous... thing.

IE isolate to some degree.

Consonants
/m n ŋ ɲ p t k q b d g f v θ ð s z ʃ ʒ ʂ ʐ χ h r ʙ tʃ tɕ/ 

Voicelessness can be indicated by putting a  after a consonant.

All regular.

Vowels
/i e y ø ɪ ə ɜ ʊ ɯ ɑ o ɔ ɒ Vɪ Vʊ/ <í ì y ö i - ø ú ù à ó ò á Vi Vu>

(12 monophthongs and schwa? o rly?)

The weird orthography is remnant of tones in the proto-language of the family.

The vowels are divided in two groups: high tone and low tone.

High tone vowels: /i y ø ʊ ɒ/

All other are low tone.

Phonotactics
The syllable structure is (C)(C)V(C)(F), and more to be done.

þkàvàks /'θkɑ.vɑks/ or /'θkɑ.vɑχs/ "god"

If a voiced sound occurs in the end of a word, it's often devoiced.

If a plosive/affricate or trill occurs in the syllable coda, a schwa is (seldom) placed after it. Example: rràþpádárd /ʙɑθ.pɒ'dɒr.tə/ or /ʙɑθ.pɒ'dɒrt/ "to fight with"

Nouns
DECLENSION MAYHEM! Lemme do some words first.

Masculine
Unstressed -às declension; rráþàs /'ʙɒ.θɑs/ "brother", stem rráþ- /ʙɒθ-/ Irregular stem polysyllable -às declension; kàlmàs /'kɑl.mɑs/ "name", stem kàlàm- /'kɑ.lɑm-/ Suffix-stressed polysyllable -às declension; báràs /bɒ'rɑs/
