Why did I make this.

Consonants:
Plosives:​ <p b t d k g> /p b t d k g/
Nasals: ​<m n ng> /m n ŋ/
Fricatives:​ <s z kh ch> /s z x ɣ/
Lateral fricatives:​ <hl lh> /ɬ ɮ/
Approximants: < ​ r> /ɹ/
Lateral approximants:​ <l> /l/

Vowels:
Just one.
<y> pronounced /ə/
However, this vowel is changed a lot.

Variations include:
Nasalization <ỹ> /ə̃/
Breathy <ÿ> /ə̤/
Creaky <y> /ə̰/
Broken <y> /əʔə/
Rhotic <ŷ> /ɚ/

Vowel lengths include:


Extra long <ý> /əː/
Extra short <ỳ> /ə̆/
Like, really long <y̋> /əːː/
Like, really short <y̏> /ə̆̆/

A vowel may only have 1 vowel length but can have all variations. Diacritics are noted in the
opposite as stated above, so nasalization is always the bottom one and vowel lengths are
always furthest from the letter, such as this:

<ỹ> /ɚ̤̰̃ːːʔɚ̤̰̃ːː/

A typical word in Y-lang would be:

ngỹdytỹlh /ŋɚ̃də̆̆ʔə̆̆tə̤̰̃ɮ/

FAQ
Is this conlang practical?
No. It’s stupid and barely readable.

So, why did you make this shitty monstrosity?


Because I have a school project due for the 30th and felt like wasting my time.

This isn’t even a conlang! You have no grammar.


Do I look like the person who would actually invest time and effort into something?
