Note: In the next few chapters, I will be going over the Aezkhao constants; so the constants in new Aezkhao will be discussed in a different chapter. This will be important to keep in mind later.
In Noupangea, Ienitikao was a language that was unique for its time. Many people of Noupangea spoke of Tsmoogar [Tsmugar], a language that was also derived from Oorgmaatja as well. Ienitikao (Old Aezikhao) has a total of 13 constants and 6 vowels that combine uniquely, but thoroughly. It's sound harmony consist of the vowel combinations similar to the African language, Swahili. For a person to learn Aezkhao, one must learn the phonology of Ienitikao.
CONSONATS
The Consonants are:
/p = Patrick
/t=Toilet
/k=Kitchen
/m=Monkey
/n=Nose

And Vowels are:
Vowels
/a=H'a't
/ae='A'pple
/e='E'gg
/i=Fr'ee'

/u=B'oo't
Long Vowels
/ā
/āē/
/ē/
/ī/
/ō^/

CODAS AND PHONETIC SYLLABLES
Every language has a phonotactic rule system within them, so of course Ienitikao has them.
For , it contains a mostly open syllable structure containing all 6 vowels (with /a, /u, /e being the most common). Codas within this version are extremely rare; but their exception lies with the sounds to appear at the end of a word. The constants that serve this purpose for being codas in Ienitikao are the sounds /m, /n/ and /k (but this will expand slightly). For the phonetic syllable rule as of right now, the stress of a word will be on the third to last syllable unless the second syllable has a long vowel.
(Note: This will be subject to change later if criticism is needed. Please let me know if i do need to explain anything through this chapter.)
