Vikti

Vikti (ciol vikti /ciˈɑl vikˈti/) is an agglutinative personal loglang of an unspecified language family.

Consonants
The full phonetic inventory of Vikti is the result of Proto-Vikti's original consonant inventory having been shaped overtime by strong allophonic influences of succeeding vowels within a syllable. Proto-Vikti possesses a markedly small inventory of consonants.

Proto-Vikti Consonant Inventory
Proto-Vikti (miqta na kior /mʱiʔta nʱa kiɒr/) underwent numerous sound changes based on syllabic boundaries and vocalic influence.
 * /mʱ/ => /v/
 * /nʱ/ => /z/
 * /r/ => /ɾ/
 * /r/ => /s~ɕ-h/ in initial positions
 * /r/ => /l/ in final positions
 * /ʔ/ => /s~ɕ~h/ in initial positions
 * /ʔ/ => /k/ in final positions
 * /h/ => /s/ in final positions

Standard Vikti Consonant Inventory

 * 1) /p/ becomes /pʷ/ before back vowels /ʊ, ɔ/
 * 2) /v/ becomes /vʷ/ before back vowels /ʊ, ɔ/
 * 3) /n/ becomes /ŋ/ before velar /k/
 * 4) /t/ becomes /ʈ/ before back vowels /ɯ, ɑ/
 * 5) /z/ becomes /d͡z/ before back vowels /ɯ, ɑ/
 * 6) /z/ becomes /d͡ʑ/ before /i/
 * 7) /ɾ/ becomes /ɽ/ before back vowels /ɯ, ɑ/
 * 8) /l/ becomes /ɭ/ before retroflex consonants
 * 9) /k/ becomes /c/ before /i/
 * 10) /h/ becomes /s/ before /ɯ/
 * 11) /h/ becomes /ɕ/ before /i/

Vowels

 * 1) /ɯ/ is rounded to /ʊ/ following labial /pʷ, vʷ/ and glottal stop /ʔ/
 * 2) /ɑ/ is rounded to /ɔ/ following labial /pʷ, vʷ/ and glottal stop /ʔ/

Sound Changes from Proto-Vikti
In addition to the aforementioned changes from Proto-Vikti to Standard Vikti based on syllabic boundaries and vocalic influence, other notable sound changes occured that had their own impact on not only the phonological aspects of the language, but the morphological and syntactic structure as well.
 * In many cases, instances of /n~nʱ/ were lenited to /i/, often affecting surrounding consonants and vowels
 * him ana h /himʱanʱah/ "horse" => xiv ai s /ɕivæis/
 * k uni runu /kunʱirunʱu/ "to break" => c oi rru /kɑiɽɯ/
 * m an h a na  /mʱanhɒ nʱa/ "perfect" => v ixi  /viɕi/
 * Similarly, /m~mʱ/ became lenited to /u/
 * p om poq /pɒmpɒʔ/ "bush" => p u pok /pʷʊpʷɔk/
 * k imi nu /kimʱinʱu/ "to dry" => c iu 'iu /ciɯʔiɯ/
 *  omi rioh na /ɒmʱiriɒh nʱa/ "lethargic" =>  uo rroxi /ɯɑɽɑɕi/
 * Instances of /r/ sometimes caused fronting of preceding back vowels /u, ɑ/.
 * q or  /ʔɒr/ "arm" => h al  /hæl/
 * m ur ot /mʱurɒt/ "moose" => v irr ot /viɽɑt/
 * ni or mia /nʱuɒrmʱia/ "snake" => Ji arr uva /d͡ʑiæɽɯvæ/ "serpent god Jiarruva"
 * Clusters /rp, rk, rʔ/ sometimes underwent alveolar assimilation to /lt/
 * pa rpa  /parpa/ "fish" => pa lt a /pæltæ/
 * ma rk ono /mʱarkɒnʱɒ/ "carriage" => va lt io /væltiɑ/ "vehicle"
 * po rq uo /pɒrʔuɒ/ "trail" => pa ltt o /pæɭʈɑ/

Phonotactics
Vikti syllables follow a (C)V(C) syllable structure, where: Loan words, for example have trouble retaining phonetic integrity when translated into Vikti. Take the following words and names for example, which may maintain this integrity following strictly the phonetic inventory of Vikti, but when confronted with Vikti phonotactics become incorrect constructions.
 * Onset (C) includes any consonants besides nasals /m, n/ or lateral approximate /l/
 * V is any vowel
 * Coda (C) includes any consonants besides voiced fricatives /v, z/, approximate /r/, or glottal sounds /ʔ, h/

Possible (C)V(C) syllable constituents are presented below:

Additionally, a given word in Vikti cannot begin in /ɾ/-initial or /ʔ/-initial syllables. While these restrictions did not exist in Proto-Vikti, Standard Vikti affricated initial instances of both phonemes to /s~ɕ~h/. Therefore, Proto-Vikti productions like ramu /ramʱu/ "to love" and qimarta /ʔimʱarta/ "structure" became havu /hævʷʊ/ and ximalta /ɕivæltæ/, respectively.
