However, /gja/, /dja/ have voiced initial consonants, so /gʝa/, /dʝa/ would be better (/ç/ is voiceless and goes well with /k/, /t/).
Ahh, understood. Thanks!

Re: (Conlangs) Q&A Thread - Quick questions go here

Would these sound changes make sense (keeping in mind that /ç/ is a common sound in the language anyway) ciä -> /kja/ -> /kça/ giä -> /gja/ -> /gça/ tiä -> /tja/ -> /tça/ diä -> /dja/ -> /dça/ The ä is arbitrary and could be any other vowel (including another i, in which case it would be written cí,...

Re: Nigh trait, night rate, and nitrate

For me (More or less RP):

Nigh trait:
[nɑɪ: t͡ʃreɪt]
Night rate:
[nɑɪt reɪt/nɑɪʔ reɪt]
Nitrate:
['nɑɪt͡ʃreɪt]

I'm not sure how it'd work in my conlang though. Interesting question!
