Enlihupa

General Information
Enlihupa (Nlihupa /nlihʷupa/) is a language formerly spoken by the Chesnon. Though it is a dead language, it is very important in Chesnon history, and its descendants form a rather large language family.

Consonants
m, p, b, v, n, t, d, s, l, nu, tu, du, su, lu, x, y, xu, yu, ng, k, g, ngu, ku, gu, h, r, hu, ru, nm, kp, gb
 * /m/, /p/, /b/, /ʋ/, /ŋm/, /kp/, and /ɡb/ only have labial forms before /u/, where all consonants are labialized. Therefore their labial forms can be considered allophones, and are omitted from this chart.
 * /s/, /sʷ/, /ʃ/, and /ʃʷ/ are voiced if adjacent to a voiced consonant.

Vowels
i, ă, a, u
 * /ǝ/ is typically reduced to nothing before /m/, /n/, /ŋ/, and /ʀ/, where those consonants become syllabic.
 * /u/ causes labialization of any preceding consonant.

Phonotactics
The minimal syllable is CV (e. g. ma "at, near"). The maximal syllable is CCVC (e. g. sgat "instruct, instruction"). The syllable-final consonants are limited to: m, n, ng, p, t, k, s, j, and r.

Allowed syllable-initial consonant clusters are: vm, vn, vng, vnm, lm, ln, lng, lnm, mp, mb, nt, nd, ngk, ngg, nmkp, nmgb, sm, sp, sb, sv, sn, st, sd, sl, sng, sk, sg, sh, sr, snm, skp, sgb, my, py, by, vy, ny, ty, dy, ly, xy, ngy, ky, gy, hy, ry, nmy, kpy, gby, ml, nl, ngl, mx, nx, ngx, nmx, mh, nh, ngh, nmh, mr, nr, ngr, nmr, vl, vs, vx, vh, vr, ls, lx, lh, and lr and all can be labialized if the second member of the cluster can.

Personal pronouns
Personal pronouns distinguish singular from plural, gender in the third person, and, in the singular, the gender of the speaker. ex. Yuăn da ngit hă luit hă răy. "By us, I mean me, you, and them." (Spoken by a beta)

Rational nouns
Nouns referring to Chesnon or some animals are called 'Rational nouns'. These can be pluralized with a prefix lă- and can take the optional gendering suffixes -ri, -pi, -vi. ex. lăsgatyăng "instructors", sgatyăngri "instructor of the α gender"
