About Mu
The Mu language is an analytical tonal language with major influences from Chinese and Polynesian languages. The syllable structure is very strict, the simplest syllable being CV, and the language lacks stops entirely. Mu vocabulary derives heavily from my other conlangs, most notably 
Banuya, 
Pövantic and 
Windamilian.
Mu orthography borrows elements from many Southeast Asian scripts, featuring one script to write syllables and one to write content words, akin to Japanese kanji and kana. The syllabary in question is the Balinese script, whilst the logography is an amalgamation of various unique syllabograms from many different sources.

Additional Notes*Vowels and tones are marked with diacritics placed onto, next to or below a consonant, as is typical for a syllabary. However, because the diacritics do not alter the shape or structure of a consonant's grapheme, the produced CV combination is not represented as a separate glyph,
