@CyanSurfer

Now you've changed phonology, why did you allow /l/ to make the [w] sound when /w/ is already a phoneme? Also, you basically need to change your vocabulary to fit the new phonology

Also, you somehow made the diphthongs worse.... most languages don't even have diphthongs. Just treat them as two separate vowels.

The phonotactics table also needs to be changed

Explain why you need the syllable division symbol.

1. I’ve seen people pronounce the sound like a [w] sound.

2. But the diphthongs ARE two separate vowels, they are just treated as one sound, I also only would have 5 vowels to use so adding diphthongs would make it less restrictive.

3. And I’ll get to working on that eventually when I have time.

4. The symbol is literally there to split syllables, even the dictionary used in Google splits the syllables.

@CyanSurfer

1. If you allow /l/ to be a [w] sound, how do you distinguish it from /w/??

2. I feel like they shouldn't be treated as one sound, like you can just treat them as part of separate syllables, there's basically no difference between /a.i/ and /ai/... Like I said, most languages don't have diphthongs.

3. Ok, I think CVC is a good syllable structure, just make sure the coda is a bit more restrictive (i suggest only allowing voiceless obstruents and nasals in the coda)

4. But like, why do we need the symbol? Isn't it already clear what syllable a sound is part of? If I write 'lemisa' instead of 'le•mi•sa' is it less clear?

There are no voiceless nasals tho.

@CyanSurfer let me rephrase that:

Nasals and voiceless obstruents

Also what about the rest of the things i mentioned?

@JiaGbon1234 If I dont have diphthongs or anything like them, it’s gonna be hard for me to make some words with only 5 vowel sounds to use without it sounding so repetitive. Plus, aren't they relatively easy to pronounce? No?

@CyanSurfer

You don’t have to analyze them as diphthongs. You can have, instead of for example /lei/, /le.i/ and it would work. You can analyze the two vowels as part of separate syllables and it wouldn’t change anything

Also t what about the syllable division symbol?

@JiaGbon1234 Like the glottal stop or something? If so, how about allowing them to be pronounced both ways? And for the syllable symbol, I’ve gotten rid of it since it’s already obvious to tell when and where a syllable is.

@CyanSurfer yes like the glottal stop but it doesn't need to be pronounced

Also, /h/ is not an obstruent, i don't think you should allow it in coda. Also, some of your vocabulary does not obey your phonotactics..

@CyanSurfer You still allow /l/ to be pronounced as [w]... but then how to distinguish from /w/? Also, why create new numerals when hindu-arabic numerals are already pretty international?
