Porphyrogenitos wrote:EDIT: Oops I think I made this violate a linguistic universal by having more phonemic vowels than consonants.

Actually, Iau has 6 phonemic consonants and 8 phonemic vowels.

(Not to mention having 11 diphthongs, 2 triphthongs, and crazy tones.)

I'm going to make a crazy guess, based on the vowels with dots: Igbo?

AFAIK, geminates sound basically the same as two of the same consonant in a row. Like the <...t t...> English <hat take> [hæt:eɪk] or the <...g g...> in <bug game> [bʌg:eɪm]. Just make sure the first one is not released.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

Last night I had a dream where I was at school, and there was a garage-like door leading to a classroom. We were all outside the door waiting to get into class, and then a girl walked up crying. She said she didn't do well on her online math homework last night, and that her parents would be extreme...

Script The script is somewhat featural. I think it might be an abugida, or a syllabic alphabet. Each character represents one phonemic syllable. The writing direction is left to right and top to bottom. Syllable blocks can be separated into three parts. The top is for optional consonant onsets. The...

Seed 1936516521 has the vowel system of /i u a a˞ ɑ ɒ/. 4 low vowels and no mid vowels!

It has a nice little consonant inventory though:

/m n/
/p t t͡s t͡ɕ k/
/s ɕ h/
/l j/

Syllabic plosives? That is weird.

I wonder if it could be diachronically justifiable to say that /ə/ was lost before voiced stops. Even then, one would expect there to be syllabic resonants.

My original purpose for making this conlang was to challenge myself not to scrap something for at least a month, and I guess I succeeded because It's been more than three months. :)...
