Proto-Artenian was a language spoken on the northern shore of the Central Continent by the tropical seminomads. It is the mother language of the Artenian languages[1]

Phonology

Bilabial Alveolar Velar Uvular
Stops Voiceless p t k q
Voiced b d g ɢ
Fricatives Voiceless ɸ s x χ
Voiced β z ɣ ʁ

Proto-Artenian (PAT) phonology is simple and symmetric, divided into stops and fricatives, both with voicing contrast, in four places of articulation: Bilabial, Alveolar, Velar and Uvular.

Vowels
Front Near-front Central Near-back Back
High i y ɯ u
Near-high ʊ
High-mid e o
Mid ə
Low-mid ɛ ɔ
Near-low æ
Low a
No allophonical variation existed in the early days of the language, before any divergence occurred. Stress is always on the penultimate (second-to-last) syllable.

Syllable structure

PAT's syllable structure is similarly simple, CV(L), where L stands for "Voiceless consonant". Consonant clusters exist only intersyllabically, such as in ghéhghe /ˈɢeχ.ɢe/, "fire (NOM)"
