I shall detail more on it later - have Thanksgiving break now, but not much time now.

I was extremely confused by this before I remembered that Americans have Thanksgiving in November.  |

I created the language so that a conlanging friend of mine could actually learn it, so it's more learnable than Lorošae and Kalso'e.
Sounds:
/m n N p b t d k g f v ? s z S Z x G h j w H r r_r l K K\/ <m n ń p b t d k g f v ' s z š ž x ğ h y w ý r ř l ł ļ>
/a e i o u 1 y 2/ <a e i o u ı ü ø>
Grammar:
Mutation is abundant. Consonants have 3 mutation types - I shall refer to them as voiced, nasal, and fricative mutations in the order that they come in the following table:
t d n s
p b m f
k g ń x
l ļ -* ł
r ř ğ z
b v m w
g ğ ń y
d z n ý
s š ž h
h/-* l s '
Vowels have these mutations
a - ea
e - ui
i - oi
o - eu
u - ao
ø - ie
ı - au
y - øi
-* - ou
*Denotes the absence of a phoneme
Nouns have nominative, genitive, accusative, and dative case.
Nominative is the normal form of the noun - dagauva (palm tree)
Genitive is done by voiced mutation to the initial consonant - zagauva
Accusative is done by nasal mutation to the initial consonant - nagauva
Dative is done by fricative mutation to the initial consonant - ýagauva
Plural is formed by mutating the initial vowel - deagauva, zeagauva, neagauva, ýeagauva.
Verbs have present, remote perfect, recent perfect, imperfect, recent future, and remote future.
To be continued...

This part is especially interesting, I don't think I've ever come another language that does this. I would love to see more, especially vocabulary and also the verbs and sentence structure. Are there any rules to the mutation of the consonants, like those of the vowels? |

Just how many languages do you have?
I like what I see. More?

I put a quasi-table up there. The voiceless plosives are predictable, the others less so.

Do you actually romanize /1 2/ as <1 2>?
Or did you mean to put <ı ø>?
Also, did you intend for both of /y j/ to be romanized as <y>?

Please do continue! I'm very much liking what you have so far! |

Fixed.

ý is /j/. y is /y/.

ý is /j/. y is /y/. |
You have that y is /j/ and ý is /H/ | Aeetlrcreejl wrote: |

Both fixed - /y/ is ü, /j/ is y, and /H/ is ý.
