Phonotactics
(C)(l) VVLT,VST,VLT or VVLT, VST, VLT (R) OR (R-l) VVLT,VST,VLT
C=p, t, k, q, m, n, ń, f, z, s, x, j, r, h, c, ch, l, b.
R= m, n, ñ/ń, l.
Componds
In compound words, the phonology and orthography changes:
- Fricatives and Africates, beside h, use the up glyph in initial position and the down glyph in all other cases (tlá+tsí->tlácí or tsítlá)
- ń /ŋ/ becomes ñ /ɲ/ inwards
- Fricatives + l can be pronounced as /ɬ/ inwards
- plosives are voiced if it's between 2 short vowels (you can use b, d, g and ǵ).
- If a neutral short vowel happens before another short vowel, both become a long tonal vowel (aá->â, aa->ā, aà->ä)
- If two non-short vowels are together, a y or w is inserted in between. That depends if the first vowel is e, i (y) or o, u (w). A is kinda neutral, "short a" favors y and "long a" favors w, if the separation has happen before, the before consonant is used. (āwawā vs ayāya) (owuawi).

Descriptor
Descriptors has its own declentions.
The firts is if they have a nounal or a verbal role (beautiful rock vs the rock is beautiful)
A descriptor in a verbal role is used as a nucleus of a predicate, and its formed with the particle "Khlao" after the Descriptor and then conjugating the verb
Example: Thë Khlao -> Thëjlao -> [θêɬao]
In the two cases, to inflect the Descriptors is used a bunch of particles

Writing System(s)
The Láñe, has 3 writing systems
The first, and most used by this wiki is Romanized Láñē (Qhomañē, Romañē)
Qhomañē
Romañee (Roma+ñē "Roma comunication") exist in a dialect continoum of formality and informality changes, puted here as 3 stages: Qhomañē, Romañē & Romañee.

Tuñē
Tuñē (tu+ñe, "paper comunication") is a phonetic writing system often used as an intermediator beetween Romañē and Pheñē, or as a means of conjugation particles or phonetic expresion (Like Hiragana or Katakana, respectively)
CAUTION:All the symbols have been drown poorly, temporaly.
Each header, (That's C(l)) has it's own symbol
As for the vowels, there's an arrow (represents a), with some tweaking it can represent the other 4 vowels.
The systems encodes tone in 2 steps, the Length of the vowel is indicated with some extra lines if its long and the Direction of the vowel is marked by pointing the arrow forwards (N), down (L) or up (H).
Also, the headers and vowels can combine, putting the first Normal vowel up and a second normal vowel down, putting a 1st non-normal vowel in the left and a second in the right.
So dipthongs has the first vowel up and the second vowel either down or rigth.
See Tones for more detail.
Phêñē
Phêñē (Phê+ñē, "see comunication") is a more logographical system (akin to Kanji), still in process.
