General information[]
Ecwoyate is a conlang invented by me (Hetaliajapan98). I made this conlang just for fun and it's a priori. I love languages and linguistics and I always wanted to invent a conlang and I knew I would be bored over the summer so I decided to write it out on paper but it was really getting on my nerves that I actually didn't have any time during the summer and I started doing it and I got lost and it turned out to be a mess at first and I'm just starting to actually make it (Yay! Finally!) Thank god I found this website where I can organize it. Anyway, Back to the conlang, so it's suppose to be completely different from English in terms of grammar and phonology. I plan to only use it only by myself but if anyone would like to learn it, that would be awesome. I hope my hard work pays off and people actually like it! Have fun reading! The language isn't finished yet.

Stress Rules[]
The regular stress pattern changes depending on how many syllables are in a word.
– 1 syllable words: no stress
– 2 syllable words: stress on 1st syllable.
– 3+ syllable words: stress on second to last syllable.
– When there are two one syllable words next to each other, the first word isn’t stressed but the second word is stressed.
– When there are 4 one syllable words next to each other, the second word gets stressed but the fourth word has a falling accent.
– Stress is represented with (‘) and it’s placed before the stressed syllable and a falling accent is represented with (,) and it’s also placed before the syllable that has the falling accent.
– Irregular Stress is represented by (').
