Elezedźana

General information
Elezedźana [ˌjeɪ̯ʎ̝ɪzʲɪˈd͡zʲanə] is the national language of Elezedźa and is spoken by 99% of its populace. It is very consonant-heavy and relies greatly on palatalization.

Consonants

 * Each phoneme has a palatalized "soft" and unpalatalized "hard" form.
 * There are two /ç/ and two /j/ phonemes; the palatalized forms of /x/ and /h/ are both /ç/, and the palatalized forms of /ɣ/ and /ɰ/ are both /j/.
 * /d͡ʑ/ and /t͡ɕ/ are the only phonemes without unpalatalized forms, and only appear in loanwords. They are pronounced [d͡zʲ] and [t͡sʲ] by some speakers.
 * [ʔ] exists as a separator between words or morphemes intervocally.

Vowels
There is much allophony among the vowels according to preceding and following consonants, iotification, as well as stress.

Consonants

 * Phonemes are soft before iotated vowels, or when written as they are in the palatalized table.
 * /t͡s/ is written ⟨c⟩ before iotated vowels and ⟨ts⟩ elsewhere.
 * Sibilant fricatives are softened by adding an acute accent to them, with the exception of ⟨ż⟩, which becomes ⟨x⟩.
