About (fake) Zelconese
Zelconese is one of the four languages spoken on the planet Ilracus. BUT I made this version when I was a baby conlanger and knew only the IPA letters theta and eth and thought they were common. How embarrassing. So although this version has been labelled "abandoned", it is not really so - it is the inspiration, the seed off of which I will make the new version.

Language family relationships
[edit] [view] Duormehkean Zel (Duormehian Zelconian)Spoken in the tiny yet powerful country of Duormeh, this dialect features diphthongs normally separated by glottal stops. The short and long e sounds "eh-ee", would normally be pronounced like that, but in Duormehkean Zel they become the sound "A". The "ah-ee" sounds becomes "ai" or "I".
