You can tell the same lie a thousand times,
But it never gets any more true,
So close your eyes once more and once more believe
That they all still believe in you.
Just one time.

Unnamed Dwarf Language
I'm making this for a friend who's making a conworld. The vowels are ripped straight from Farsi.
Nasals: [m n]
Stops: [p b t̪ d̪ k g]
Fricatives: [f v s z ʃ ʒ]
Affricates: [ts dz tʃ dʒ]
Approximants: [j]
Trills: [r]
Laterals: [l]
Vowels: [i u e o æ ɒ]
Phonotactics are (C)(K)V(K)(C) where K = any consonant except a stop. Stress is uniformly on the first syllable.
Bonus points for using no diacritics.

They are, although /ttʃ/ would be interpreted as /tʃ/.Nortaneous wrote:So are ttsenl, yrafr, tsdzify, and zhsashl all allowed syllables?Phonotactics are (C)(K)V(K)(C) where K = any consonant except a stop. Stress is uniformly on the first syllable.
My own orthography used <w> for /ɒ/. I used <sh> for /ʃ/ and <j> for /ʒ/, <c> for /tʃ/, <dj> for /dʒ/, and <y> for /j/.
I wanted the phonotactics to prohibit some common English clusters like coda /kt/, /ts/, /pt/ and onset /st/, /sk/, while allowing onsets like /ks/ and /dzl/. After working up some random text using this phonology, I got a somewhat Slavic vibe from it with hints of Indic. Here's some sample text:
"Avliri makto, ksoblit nwloy. Ubirn yagwr; shlaskipri nyobur aybalti, wg volr. Psito apkini, nay blintamka; wshki mosoldirku. Akpin ywlganka tsokoci, znajliki ayp baru. Gvudni djaldzok wnwd talpi."

Unnamed Dwarf Language

These are all allophones? :/
There isn't much interesting to do with this phone inventory. :/
I would rather have done /æ ɒ/ <ä a>, but if you want no diacritics...

It's not guttural enough to be a dwarven language.
