ʘotu (Language and Grammar)

ʘotu is a constructed language with some very interesting features. It was created by Noah Elkins in May of 2013 and combines the phonology of an African clicking language with certain agglutinative and fusional aspects.

Phonology
Phonology in ʘotu is a little bit complicated. The dental click (ǀ) is created with the sudden release of the tongue from the back of the top row of teeth. The alveolar click (!) is created like a normal click sound, like the popping of a cork, by snapping the tongue down from the top of the palate. The lateral click (ǁ) is made with the side of the mouth, in the manner in which one would tsk-tsk.

Vowels are very regular. Two of the same vowels may occur next to each other. In that case, they are both pronounced in the same sound by drawing out the vowel sound.
