Thank you very much. I'm very into "out there"
phonologies (among other things), which is why I would
love to include "strident" consonants. I'm pleased to
hear that Tlilarese has that affect.
To be honest, though, when I speak the language, I do
so very *slowly* and deliberately right now, my native
tounge being Southwest Missouri English. But I do get
all the sounds (even the creaky-voice pharyngeals). It
took me about three months to get the epiglottal
trills right, largely because I wasn't entirely sure
how to make them untill I heard them on Wikipedia.
It;s funny, I always figured they would be painful,
but they aren't.
