Re: How to design a non-European phonology

The crap I just posted in the romanization thread: 1. Absence of any phonemic POA for stops further back than velar [half mark for only one stop-POA behind velar, or for prominent allophonic stops behind velar] 2. Phonemic voicing 3. Voicing distinction in stops and fricatives, and no other MoA 4. V...

Re: [x] in loanwords to English

Yes. The Pole and I noticed that there's some minor syllable like stuff going on, but we did not investigate further.

Why, it's obviously a language that is the preimage of a subset of a finite monoid under a homomorphism from the free monoid on its alphabet.
