About Kripoti
This is my attempt at a naturalistic language. The original version was complete trash. This is NOT for the CWSP, but it is for another fictional world called Viridia.

Syllable StructureThe maximum sillable structure is CGVhC, where C represents any consonant, G represents either /w/ or /j/, the laterals /l/ and /ɬ/ and any fricative excluding /h/ and /ʁ/, and V represents any vowel, both long and short.
Stress informationStress in Kripoti usually falls on the last syllable if the last vowel is long, else on the second-to-last syllable. Some words however have an irregular stress which falls on the last syllable even if the last vowel isn't long, and sometimes the position can be phonemic. Also, in the vocative case stress always falls on the last syllable of the word, regardless of the length of the last vowel. Stressed vowels might be held for slightly more time, depending on the speaker and the dialect.

Additional NotesThe Lepeqeklih alphabet (the one used by the Kripoti language) does not distinguishes between uppercase and lowercase. The symbles called è, qq, pp and thlthl are not used in this language. The digraphs are not part of the alphabet, but they have been put here in order to show how they are written. They are not a problem as those combinations in the standard pronounciation always assimilate in the sounds they represent. Both stress and vowel length are indicated with a small letter after the vowel (in the table, the stress letter is represented with "~", the length letter is represented with ":"). Also, unlike the romanization, stress is always indicated in the native orthography in non-monosyllabic words, and when it falls on a long vowel the long vowel gliph and the stress gliph become one single ligature (represented as "\" in the table). For this reason, it is impossible for CWS to write correctly using the native script without using even more diacritics.
