Thanks Ray. I'm still not decided if I want to go with it being a plausible natural one (i did have an understanding that au for instance changes in all positions, and c before front vowels is the same in any position as well), or if I want it to be more of a fun language. Maybe i'll go with fun, who knows ;). Of course, I might have to build a country for the speakers, but well.......not sure where the heck they'd go......
