New Conlang: Ai Glwssai (LONG?)

From:Anthony M. Miles <theophilus88@...>

This information pertains to <AI ¦£¦«¦¸¦²¦²¦¡¦©> [aj GlwOhaj], a
Greek-derived (specifically, Ionic dialect) language with Romance-inspired
vowel shifts and Celtic-inspired lenition and nasalization. It might be
spoken in Massilie/Marseille ([jE vahilejE]?) or the valley of the
Rhodanus/Rhone [O rODanO]. I¡¯m submitting this to CONLANG since I don¡¯t
know whether this should go in Romanceconlang, Celticonlang, or
Slaviconlang.

Vowel Shift
<> = Greek letters
<§¡> [a] > [a]
<§¡> [a:] > [a]
<¦¥> [e] > [E]
<¦§> [E:] > [jE]
<¦©> [i] > [e]
<¦©> [i:] > [i]
<¦¯> [o] > [O]
<¦´> [y] > [2]
<¦´> [y:] > [y]
<¦¸> [O:] > [wO]
<¦¡¦©> [aj] > [aj]
<¦¡¦´>[aw] > [aw]
<¦¥¦©> [e:] > [je]
<¦¥¦´> [ew] > [j2]
<¦§¦´> [Ew] > [j2]
<¦¯¦©> [oj] > [wo]
<¦´¦©> [uj] > [wo]
<¦¸¦´> [Ow] > [wO]
