About Chilut
the ultimate conlang of WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING SIB
More specifically, 'tis a daughter lang of
Chelurche spiced up with controversial sound changes like intense vowel deletion and metathesis, filling the dictionary with short words and creating lots of unrelated minimal pairs (bey vs bēy, pŝi vs pŝī, se vs ŝe vs ṣe and many, many more)
The only reason it doesn't look like a bootleg South Asian tonal natlang (think Burmese with much more onset consonant clusters) is that I generally try to keep my creations pronounceable for me lol
