Mésylþo is my ongoing effort - one that's been scrapped and reworked a good number of times - to create the most beautiful language possible to my sensibilities. I have developed a keyboard layout for typing the characters used in the written language.

  1. /t/ is realized as [ts] before high vowels.
  2. /k/ is lenited to a fricative [x] in coda position.
  3. /r/ has many possible realizations, including a trill (in a complex onset), rhoticization of the previous vowel (in coda position), or a uvular approximant (in onset position).
  • Plosives may not occur word-finally.
  • Consonant clusters within syllables do not exist.

All vowels can be long and short apart from /ɔ/ (written ‹o›). Long vowels are realized as the vowel with a schwa offglide (ie /iː/ > [iə]). Short vowels are lax versions of long vowels (non-RTR).

Length and tenseness is represented by an acute accent over the nuclear vowel of the accented syllable.

Diphthongs
