SettingEdit

Иφчψѣɔ (nah-nee-seh) is a fictional language being designed for a sci-fi story and game (Nabdetam) currently being written by NaniErin. It's the amalgamation of several languages that have been spoken on Ƙɻѣφϸ (Earth) and is known as the language of the Ϫλцλч (Humans) among the other inhabitants of the Verse. It is used, by some, as a neutral language because of how easy it is to understand and pronounce.

General InformationEdit

Иφчψѣɔ is a consonantic language that lightly stresses the last syllable and does not use tones. It is accusative and inflecting, and uses both prefixes and suffixes.

PhonotacticsEdit

The syllable structure in Иφчψѣɔ (meaning the number of consonant sounds that may precede or follow a vowel sound) is CCCVCCC, as long as the consonant clusters are an allowed combination. In addition, when a vowel is followed by a single consonant and then another vowel, the consonant is considered to belong to the preceeding syllable and in instances where a preceding word ends in a vowel and the following word starts with one, it is common for the the second's initial vowel sound to be dropped to allow for smoother articulation.

Voiceless plosive + approximant			Vowel	Two voiceless plosives
