Welcome to the Hardmoks language!
Hardmoks is a creole language inspired in bit by WILDLY different languages like Tuvaluan, Alekano, Twi and Pirahã, while also having a dictionary that is basically a recording of a recording of a recording of a recording of a baby speaking some sort of Germanic language in their sleep, with an accent that is a mix of all of these languages. Just like real creoles, there's some reeal simplification going on, for example: no colours except light and dark, no genders, no compound words, no rounding, no exceptions to the word order, etc. it is written in a Myanmar Script-based syllabary-abuigida with completely different sound values, where syllables with /a/, /i/ or /ɯ/ get their own glyph, while /e/ and /ɤ/ are written by adding diacritics to /i/ and /ɯ/, respectively. With lots of /ɤ/-s, /ɯ/-s and /ɰ/-s but no /o/-s, /u/-s and /w/-s since there's no rounding in Hardmoks, and a boatload of allophones, including the extremely rare [͡t̪ʙ̥] /p/, Hardmoks will use your day up pronouncing this weird phonology.

Syllable StructureCV, with obligatory onset and nucleus. Can be classified as (C)CV if [t̪͡ʙ̥], [ɠ͡ɓ], [t͡s] and [t͡ɕ] are analysed as plosive-trill, plosive-implosive and plosive-fricative clusters instead.
Stress informationPenultimate syllable, characterised by vowel length and loudness.
OtherIn question phrases, since Hardmoks has no interrogative words (wh-words), a sudden rise in tone at the last syllable of the sentence and often lengthening of the vowel is often used to mark a question. This overrides the penultimate syllable stress-location, moving the stress to a word-final position instead.
