The protolanguage's consonant inventory, shown here, utilizes digraphs for the retroflex obstruents. This only works because the maximum syllable is (C)V(N/'), so they can never be interpreted as clusters. The glottal stop is phonemic, represented by the letter '. Another interesting fact is that because the retroflex series exist, the alveolar obstruents are pushed forward, almost becoming dental allophones. Do something with that or not Bryce. NOTE BRYCE: You represent the palatal approximant with a y.

Phonotactics[]
The protolanguage's phonology, shown here, utilizes digraphs for the retroflex obstruents. This only works because the maximum syllable is (C)V(N/'). The only coda is a nasal or the glottal stop when an earlier stage of the language lost final consonants.
