|-
||high||'''i î'''|| ||'''u û'''
|-

 The diphtongs are the follow: '''ei, ai, au'''
===Phontactics===
The following syllable structures are allowed:
CV, CVV, CVC, CVVC, CCV, CCVV, CCVC, CCVVC, CVCC, CCVCC.
 
A syllable must not begin and end with two plosives:
 
<s>'''tept, pte, tkatp'''</s> 
But two fricatives can do this: 
'''fthei''' ''air'' 
 

===Accent===
The Lâmian accent is usually on the first syllable. But if there is a long vowel or a diphtong in a syllable, this syllable is stressed: 
'''e'ôrane''' ''swords'' 
'''son'naiwesh''' ''at the snake'' 
If there are more long vowels or diphtongs in a word, the syllable with the first is stressed: 
''' 'leithîm''' ''of a language''

'''kerî''' ''shield'' + '''-et''' ''our'' + '''îm''' ''GEN'' + '''-ane''' ''PL'' -> '''kerîtîmane''' ''of our shields'' 
If a diphtong collides with a vowel, the vowel disappears: 
'''lothei''' ''hut'' + '''-ûta''' ''AKK/ALL'' -> '''lotheita''' ''(to) a hut'' 
If a diphtong collides with another diphtong, a '''w''' seperates the two diphtongs: 
'''methau''' ''moon'' + '''-ai''' ''the'' -> '''methauwai''' ''the moon''

Hi, I am Ell Crasses (means ''the fat'' in [[Schveveg]]). My real name is Marlon Betz and I live near to Heilbronn (Germany).
I'm 14 years old and a pupil of the ''Justinus-Kerner-Gymnasium Weinsberg'' and very interested in languages (and computer games)
and I speak German,English,Latin (and next year Italian by school) and a bit Japanese,Chinese,Dutch,Turkish and Esperanto.
I've already made lots of conlangs (around 50, but the most were funlangs, of course), but i haven't finished them yet (and the most won't be finished ever). The conlangs I am working on are [[Schveveg]] and [[Lâmian]]. My favorite conlangs are
[[Wikipedia:Verdurian|Verdurian]],Wenedyk,Brithenig,Breathanach and Thrjótrunn.
