OK. Here's the Laetitia Casta of phonologies...
Vowels:
/a a: E e: i i: O o: u u: y y:/
Consonants:
/t p k s S v x n m j w r l/
Where [d b g z Z N] would be allophones of /t p k s S n/.
The most important phonemes would be /a e i/ and /Z l n m/.
Phonotactics and Stress:
Similar to Latin and Quenya. I just love phonemic vowel length,
cluster-moderated syllable structures and antepenultimate stress...
"ve fanyar máryat elentári ortane"!
Notably, my two conlangs Obrenje and Jovian both don't adhere to
this model. They have schwas and stressed ultimates and whatnot...
BTW, while I do consider Laetitia Casta to be among the most aesthetic
women on Earth, prefer the less perfect but more lovable and cute type
à la Jessica Alba. ;-)
