I have started working on Azurian, which is spoken in the middle, southeast and northwestern regions of Uriania today. It was brought to the country by invading Vikings and will have some features from Faroese, some from western Norwegian and some unique features caused by a Middle Urianian substrate, like devoicing of consonants following unvoiced consonants, simplifying initial clusters, traces of postpositional grammar etc. I have made some initial notes on phonology, but will lay this aside now for further consideration and adjustment to morphology and sentence structure when those become more clear. But one thing I am considering is to unvoice an m before unvoiced stops and s. Curiously I don't find a symbol for this in the Sampa chart. Is this something that's simply not done, or what? LEF
