AkidacerosianOrkish has a lot of weird sounds. Here is how they all fit together:
- All syllables are closed, but the last syllable in a word may be open or closed.
- The stress falls on every other syllable
- The biggest allowed syllable is CCCVCCC
- Words don't start with /h/ or /ʔ/
- The nucleus of a syllable can be any vowel, /l/ ,/ɹ/, or /|/
- Words of one or two syllables can have anything [with continuity] as a nucleus
- Consonants in a consonant cluster can't be in the same area of articulation: /tt'/*, /mn/*, /ʃs/*. The one exception to this is /mʙ/
- /ʙ/ never ends a word. It only appears at the beginning of a word or after a vowel.
- Double consonants don't occur: /rr/, /ʙʙ/, /ss/ etcetera. When they do, it is to signal two affixes side by side. They are pronounced like one consonant.
- /f/+ a plosive never occurs
- /v/ + /l/ doesn't occur
- Diphthongs don't occur
- Creaky and nasal vowels never occur in the same morpheme/affix
- When adding suffixes to nouns or verbs, the vowel in the previous syllable may become nasal
