Aišqaat [aɪ̭ʃ.'qɒːtʰ] is the standardized, archaic form of the Aižgaadan family of languages ancestor language used for diplomatic purposes and as a lingua franca in areas where Aižgaadan languages are spoken.
Phonology
Aišqaat phonology and phonotactics are based on what is percieved to be the archaic form of Aišqaat from which Aižgaadan languages are descended. Due to the phonology being artificially made archaic, many words being recognizable and therefore corrupted by Aižgaadan speakers and the lack of certain phonemes and phoneme combinations in languages descendants, the actual pronunciation varies wildly from speaker to speaker and depends on their mother tongue. The phonology and dictionary here presented are based on the prescribed variety of Aišqaat, which does not correspond to any particular speaker's lexicon and pronunciation, and the approximations and changes occuring in various dialects are presented in notes.
The prescribed phonological inventory of Aišqaat contains 24 consonants and 7 vowels. There is also prescribed alophony, that is alophony percieved as archaic or proper that will be described in notes.
Stop | Fricative | Sibilant | Nasal | Rhotic | Lateral | |

Labial | p, b | v, f |

Alveolar | t, d | θ | s, z | n | r | l |
Palatal | ʃ, ʒ | ɲ | ||||
Velar | k, g | x, ɣ | ŋ | |||
Uvular | q | χ |
- The voicing in stops is realized as voicing in medial position and clusters. Word-initially and -finally, it is realized as the difference between aspirated (voiceless) and unaspirated (voiced) stops.
- The flat dental fricative θ is voiced intervocalically and in voiced clusters. It is also (occasionally) voiced word-initally.
- The voiced velar fricative ɣ becomes the semivowel j in front of any front vowel, including a.
- The nasals differ in place of articulation only when not in a cluster or word-final, otherwise they are articulated in the same place of articulation as the following consonant.
- r and l are differentiated only outside of clusters. In clusters, r is always the prevocalic element and l always the postvocalic element.
- Voicing is not distinctive word-finally for fricatives, both flat and sibilant, with the exception of the x-ɣ, which are distinguished by the latter being pronounced as j word-finally.

In the prescribed variant, all seven vowels are highly allophonic, though this is rarely so in actual pronouncation, except for the phoneme ë. Despite this, in the dictionary, word pronunciation is written out with the prescribed allophony.
i
- [ɪ] least marked pronunciation
- [ɘ] when a single i is followed or preceeded by a uvular
- [iː] when two i merge and no uvular is adjacent to either one.
- [iɪ] when two i merge and an uvular follows them
- [ɪi] when two i merge and an uvular preceeds them
- [ɪː] when two i merge and an uvular both preceeds and follows them
- [ɪ̭] when adjecent to any non-high vowel
y
- [ʏ] least marked pronunciation
- []

Stress is dynamic and predictable: the ultimate syllable is stressed when closed and when it is open the penultimate is stressed, so: [aɪ̭ʃ.'qɒːtʰ], but ['lɪ.ba]
