Kaus

Kaus is a language spoken by the Käus-kaus /kəu̯s.kau̯s/ of the (yet to be named).

Consonants
Not entirely sure about the consonant inventory yet.

Vowels
Vowel length is phonemic.

Phonotactics (and things related)
A word root consists of a (single-consonant?) initial, a vowel/dipthong and an optional final. A syllable may be more complex - or consist of an optional initial and a syllabic consonant (only fricative/sonorant?).

A syllable may end in a fricative or a sonorant, but not a stop or an affricate.

A fricative can occur after a consonant in a single syllable.

No consonant can occur before or after a glottal stop in a single syllable.

/x/ cannot occur as a second initial.

Vowels are strongly raised before a syllable-final glottal stop: /lo/ > /luʔ/

The approximants are often realized as fricatives in syllable onsets.

The implementation of various grammatical features is hugely affected by phonotactics.

I should probably just make a list of permitted initials and finals.

Writing system
A syllabary. Perhaps an alphasyllabary.

Grammar
Kaus is an isolating language.

Classes: inanimate, animate, perhaps more. (what shall depend on class? different determiners, adjectives and whatnot for different classes?)

Intraradical infixes.
