Been a few months since I've had time to post to this list (or even read it
much), but hello again! Hopefully I'll have a bit of time for conlanging
over the next little while....
I'd like to ask people's opinions on how plausible the following phoneme
inventory is. It's intended for a people in my book whose culture is still
very much under development (I'm just calling it "Northern" for now, until
I know enough for a better name). The inventory is somewhat eccentric
(well, linguolabials alone do that), but I hope doesn't go too far:
(in CXS)
consonants:
p t_N t ts) tS) tK) k q ?
p\ T_N T s S K h
m n_N n N\
B L
short vowels:
i u
@
& Q
long vowels:
i: u:
@:
&: Q:
diphthongs:
i@ u@
&@
Opinions?
Ian
