Imqorášə

Classification and Dialects
Imqorášə (formerly Imqorásjə and colloquially Imqə̀aš or Imqə̀š) is a language isolate spoken in the Caucuses. It is the result of people from Europe, Africa, and America immigrating to the Caucuses to create an independent country and their culture and language merging overtime. There are minor dialectal differences between the language spoken in the western and eastern parts.

Vowels
Phonemes in parentheses were brought into the language through loanwords but eventually became integral to the language.

Phonotactics
Many of the phonemes vary depending on their context in a given word:


 * 1) The distinction between /ɬ/ and /lʒ/ and between /tɬ/ and /dlʒ/ has been diminishing greatly in recent years and colloquially is usually never pronounced.
 * 2) When /k/ and /g/ appear final, they have no audible release (/k˺/ and /g˺/), and in the case of an emphasized word (explained later) ending in /g/, /g/ is implosive and with no audible release (/ɠ˺/).
 * 3) When /n/, /t/, and /d/ appear final, they are dental and have no audible release (/n̪˺/, /t̪˺/, and /d̪˺/).
 * 4) When /q/ appears final, it is a glottal stop with no audible release (/ʔ˺/).
 * 5) /ʀ/ is almost always a voiced uvular approximant, except when it appears initial and directly precedes /a/ and is then sometimes a trill.
 * 6) When /l/ appears final, it is usually a voiced bilabial-velar approximant /w/, except when it directly follows /u/, or when it directly follows /o/, when it is often realized as a diphthong /oɔ/, or when it directly follows /a/, when it is sometimes realized as a diphthong /aɑ/.
 * 7) Consonant clusters composed of post-alveolar fricatives (/ʃ/ and /ʒ/) are often pronounced palatal-alveolar (/ɕ/ and /ʑ/), like in the word "éššeəs" (/ˈɜɕ:ɜəs/).
 * 8) Consonant clusters composed of post-alveolar fricatives and stops (/ʃ/, /ʒ/, /tʃ/, and /dʒ/) are often pronounced retroflex (/ʂ/, /ʐ/, /ʈʂ/, and /dʐ/), like in the word "pə́ščar" (/ˈpəʂʈʂaʀ/).
