Phonotactics
The main rule in Tesipa is that every root (not including names and interjections) MUST start with a vowel and end with a consonant. In addition, no diphthongs are allowed, so each vowel is pronounced separately. Consonants of the same method of articulation may not be placed next to each other, unless in different syllables. Nasals may not be placed next to other consonants, unless in different syllables.

Stress
Stress is perfectly regular, with the accented syllable always being the penultimate syllable (except in the case of one syllable words).

Tesipa is perfectly phonetic. The voicing and aspiration of consonants does not have an effect on spelling.
