Ałýýla does indeed seem to be developing a pitch-accent system, with the accent often quite predictably placed on the root syllable, but subject to shifts onto later syllables due to suffixing etc.
I'm pretty happy with the phoneme inventory now, and I don't foresee adding a velar nasal or phonation on vowels. Dental fricatives were never going to be a feature of this language. I love having only a dental/alveolar approximant.
Good. I believe I've stated exactly those languages as the main sources of inspiration in the respective threads.Birdlang wrote:both this and the languages you make remind me of Blackfoot, and TLFKAT reminds me of Nuu-cha-nulth.
What was Ałýýla based off of?
Ałýýla was not inspired by any natlang. It grew out of my original ideas for Hííenununóóoþa. However, I think Prinsessa's conlang Vanga has had an effect on the aesthetic, although this was not consciously done on my part.
It's sleeping.what happened with Preposterous???

That shouldn't be a major problem, as the Híí languages have somewhat similar constraints. As for the limited range of initials, that will probably be resolved by Ałýýla's love of obligatory prefixes.
