 | This article is a work in progress. ...Well, all the articles here are, in a way. But this one moreso, and the article may contain incomplete information and editor's notes. |
English is a conlang created by User:Coppersalts for CCC3.
Phonology
English (c.1550-) is notorious for its irregular spelling which is why there have been many a spelling reform suggested for it that change the spelling to more closely match the pronunciation. But few have been bold enough to suggest the opposite; to change pronunciation to match spelling. So that's what I'll be doing with this conlang.
Consonants
English's consonants are:
| Labial | Alveolar | Palatal | Velar | Uvular | Glottal | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nasal | m | n | ||||||||||
| Plosive | p | b | t | d | c | k | g | q | ||||
| Fricative | f | v | s | z | x | h | ||||||
| Trill | r | |||||||||||
| Approximant | w | l | j | |||||||||
Vowels
English's vowels are:
| Front | Back | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Close | i | y | u | |
| Mid | e | o | ||
| Open | a | |||
You may notice the distinct lack of special characters in these tables and that's no accident. These are just all the sounds represented by Latin characters in IPA.
Phonotactics
Stress
Stress is placed on the syllable with the coolest vowel (based on the ordering below). If a word has two syllables with the same nucleus, the nuclei must battle it out to decide who becomes the primary stress. The winner is not determined systematically and every word like this just has a stress pattern you have to memorize (I've decided them randomly since they're evenly matched).
