Xanh Phonology

Description

This is a phonological sketch for the language spoken by this alien (whose name, consequently, has to change :hmm: ). Their exonym is Xanh [sɑn], which used to be their endonym, but I changed to phonology to the point where that is no longer a possible name for them, heh. So it'll remain the exonym, the name that Humans know them by. I have yet to create an endonym for them, though.

Anyway, I am hardly in love with the romanization, mainly because I don't like using <'> for two different purposes, but the language is going to be featured in a comic that I am working on with JediMasterEeth, so it needs to be something that is easy to type. I may change it, but for now it is what it is.

I am passively working on grammar, as well as restructuring the existing words to fit the new phonology. It's meant to be decidedly alien though still pronounceable by humans. The Xanh, after all, have suspiciously similar oral structures to that of humans ;p

Also, I had initially intended to upload this as a journal or literature document, but formatting had other, boxier ideas. So, instead of having to explain or change anything, I took a picture :D
