About Galoch
Welcome to my conlang, galoǩ (Galoch in the English language). I've also dubbed it B Language (shortened to BLang) for now until I can be certain of its “native” name. BLang is in reference to two things: the first has a direct relationship to this conlang, the second doesn't relate to spoken languages but is easy to find if you know how to Google.
Galoǩ could potentially be a fictional engineered language as its phonology is apparently designed rather than natural. This is influenced from a more famous conlang on which galoǩ is influenced by.
So far, I've been developing the phonology, orthography and phonotactics. Next up, morphology and morphotactics.
Galoǩ is a very guttural language. Most of it is pronounced at the back of the mouth with uvular and velar consonants. It also contains some retroflex consonants.
There are no pronunciations at the front of the mouth. The lips and teeth are not used.
