About Medthiran
This is sort of a weird project that involves making a language in which many English speakers would feel at home pronouncing the phonology, yet would be completely unintelligible to native English speakers as the grammar is meant to differ significantly. Since the sparse phonology contains phones that are very easy for native English speakers, new speakers would only have a few main roadblocks:
1) Counting in duodecimal.
2) The sizeable syllabary.
3) Sentence structure.
