Byage

Classification and Dialects
Byage is a proto language for the /r/conlangs skypegroup conworld terne.

Allophones
[b] [d] and [g] are allophones of /β/, /j/ and /ɣ/ respectively when before a medial consonant. (βja > bja) /j/ and /ɣ/ are deleted before /t/ and /k/ respectively to form geminiated forms of those stops. (najta > natta)

Syllables
A syllable can be (C(M))V(F) where : C is any consonant M is any medial ( /β/, /l/, /j/ or /ɣ/ ) V is any vowel or diphthong F is any final ( /m/, /n/, /ŋ/, /β/, /l/, /j/ or /ɣ/ )

Timing
Timing is done in mora timing, meaning each mora is pronounced about equally as long as any other mora. An single vowel is worth 1 mora, a long vowel is worth 2 moras. A consonant vowel combination is worth one mora. A medial adds one mora, so does a final. here's a scheme with syllable structures and moras : * medials tend to evenly spread on the consonant and vowel moras.

Pitch Accent Stress
There is a pitch accent stress that is lexically. Every word (with it's meaning) has a slightly random pitch accent stress, these are used to seperate allophones. The pitches follow some ragular (common) patterns but there are exceptions to this.

common patterns :
for words with 3 or more moras. for words with 1 or 2 moras. example word qatinjame used for all 5 common patterns for a word longer than 3 moras.

Writing System
To write long vowel variants write the vowel twice in a row. If there occur two same vowels in a row, the second vowel wil get a diaereses diacritic.
