Substantial postings about constructed languages and constructed worlds in general. Good place to mention your own or evaluate someone else's. Put quick questions in C&C Quickies instead.

All continuants are syllabic.

/u ũ u˞ ɫ̪̩ʷ ɭ̩ʷ ɣ̩ʷ ʀ̩ʷ/

Vowels and continuants can be either short or long. Short ones can be low or high tone, long ones low, high, falling, or rising.
Low tone vowels are creaky voiced. High is the more common tone.

Major Syllables

Monophthongs

The following monophthongs can be short or long:

/i ɨ u/
/e ɘ o/

Diphthongs

All diphthongs are long:

/æi æɨ æu/

Tones/Registers

There are five tones/registers, low, low/breathy, mid, high, and high/creaky. Breathiness and creakiness affect the vowel of the major syllable, while tone affects the entire word.

Word Structure

Words have the structure (Cə)[CV1]C({ɾ l})V2({p t k m n ŋ}), where V1 are the vowels found in minor syllables and V2 is the vowels found in major syllables. Not all clusters in the onset of the major syllable are allowed (e.g. /tl/ is not permitted).

Examples

This is a workable, if somewhat ugly (but it could be far more ugly) orthography:

The following monophthongs can be short or long:

Long vowels are simply doubled.

This is another workable, if somewhat ugly (but it could be far more ugly) orthography. Is this, in your guys' opinion, better or worse than my previous orthography?

/cɨɓó̰k/ ciub'õuk

Consonants

/m n ɲ ŋ/ m n ny ng
/ɓ ɗ/ b' d'
/b d ɟ g/ b d j g
/p t c k ʔ/ p t c k '
/pʰ tʰ cʰ kʰ/ ph th ch kh
/s h/ s h
/ɾ l/ r l
/w j/ w y

Initial ' is omitted.

Vowels

Major Syllables

Monophthongs

The following monophthongs can be short or long:

/i ɨ u/ i iu u
/e ɘ o/ ei eu ou
/ɛ ɜ ɔ/ e eo o
/æ ɑ/ ae a

Long vowels have the first letter doubled, as in:

/iː ɨː uː/ ii iiu uu
/eː ɘː oː/ eei eeu oou
/ɛː ɜː ɔː/ ee eeo oo
/æː ɑː/ aae aa

Diphthongs

All diphthongs are long:

/æi æɨ æu/ aei aeiu aeu
/ɑi ɑɨ ɑu/ ai aiu au

Minor Syllables

/ɪ ɨ ʊ/ i iu u
/ɐ/ a

Presyllables

/ə/ e

Tones/Registers

There are five tones/registers, low, low/breathy, mid, high, and high/creaky. àa âa aa áa ãa

/pʰ tʰ tsʰ tʃʰ kʰ qʰ/
/p t ts tʃ k q/
/b d dz dʒ g/
/s ʃ x h/
/z ʒ/
/m l r/
/ʎ rʲ/
/a e o i u/

Voiced plosives /b d g/ lenite to fricatives in most environments. Prenasalized voiced stops /ⁿb ⁿd ⁿdz ⁿdʒ ⁿg/ may be phonemic; /ⁿd ⁿdz ⁿdʒ/ contrast with /md mdz mdʒ/, and there's generally no /n/. /m/ in V_C position is generally realized as vowel nasalization. /ml lm mʎ ʎm/ are realized as [mn n mɲ ɲ], and /l ʎ/ are nasalized when adjacent to nasal vowels.

Either or both of the palatalized sonorants may be realized as [j] or merged into /ʒ/. Sonorant palatalization isn't contrastive before /i/.

The sequences [pʃ bʒ mʒ] may be analyzed as /pʲ bʲ mʲ/.

Stress is phonemic.

Here is a new orthography for Zzyxwqnp.

It is possible to analyze Zzyxwqnp as having only four vowels, /a ə i u/, written in the conventional orthography a z y v. The other vowels, q e o i u, may be analyzed /wa yə wə yi wu/.

This analysis provides a convenient explanation for the common dialectal merger of z into o after labials: labials excrete /w/ when they precede /a/. In dialects where wz and wo, and yz and ye, remain distinct, however, it doesn't work.

There are a few other contrasts that it has trouble with:
- se sz xe may be analyzed as /ʂjə sə sjə/, rather than /se sə ɕe/.
- It is necessary to retain the alveolar affricates, because cy /tsi/ contrasts with chy /ti/.
- Postalveolars must be allophones of alveolars rather than velars, because ky /ki/ contrasts with chy /ti/.

/p b m t d n ts dz ʈ ɖ k g/ <p b m t d n c z ṭ ḍ k g>
/f s ʂ x/ <f s x h>
/w l j/ <w l y>
/a ə ɿ ʮ/ <a e i u>
[ɒ e o i u] <wa ye we yi wu>

What is the difference between /ɿ/ and /z̩/, excluding tones, in your transcription above?

Another one of my future Englishes, this time British influenced by Indian languages.

/p b t̪ d̪ tʰ ʈ ɖ k g ʔ/
/m n ŋ/
/tɕ dʑ ʈʂ ɖʐ/
/ɸ β θ s ɕ x/
/ʋ j/
/ɾ ɻ l/
/i e a o u/ ~ /ɪ ɛ ɐ~ə ɔ ʊ/
/aɪ aʊ/

The vowels exhibit a tense-lax harmony that developed partially from diphthong smoothong and partially from the loss of the historical voiced aspirate series in borrowed lexicon.

Some space Swahili, with extra MSArabic influence.

/m n ŋ/
/p b t d k g/
/ts dz/
/mb nd (ɲdʒ) ŋg/
/f v s z ʃ x ɣ h ħ ʕ/
/l ɾ/
/w j/
/i ɛ a ɔ u/

Buccal fricatives fortition post-nasally - labials become /mb/, alveolars become /ndz/, postalveolars become [ɲdʒ], which does not exist as a separate phoneme, and velars become /ŋg/. /l/ and /ɾ/ in the same environment become /ndl/ and /ndr/, respectively.
