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?

@JiaGbon1234 I made new ones because not every language uses the Hindi-Arabic numerals, Chinese for example. (Nevermind)

@CyanSurfer Why is it that in the Arabic version, /p/ is blank?
