Zievotuto

Zievotuto is a simplistic or minimalist conlang created as a conlang in my conworld, and I put this conlang into one of my webtoon projects (if only I got enough spare time to actually publish one on webtoon canvas). In my conworld, this conlang was specifically made in order to test the influence of language restriction and its correlation to the native speakers ability in language learning, as well as to try limiting the native speakers' ability to learn a new language, so that they could isolate the native speakers and keep them from getting in touch with any outsiders. This language will be teached to the children of the criminals who are going to be exiled.

When I made this conlang, I was intrigued by Rotokas, a language in Papua New Guinea with (arguably) the least phoneme inventory in the world. They only have 6 consonants and 5 vowels in Rotokas, and it only allows for (C)V phonotactic. So from this, I was inspired to make a conlang with a smaller phoneme inventory that only permits (C)V syllables.

Classification and Dialects
I actually have made some dialects of this, but I put them in my notebooks and I forget the details of the dialects. So I'll put this later on after I have some free times...

Phonotactics
Zievotuto only permits (C)V syllables, so its phonotactic is amongst the simplest one's in the world.
