Xi'im - The Speak

[Visions1]

This is great. I need to take notes on the derivational morphology.

[TBPO]

I decided to ressurect my engelang Xi'im. I previously was planning to make it also artlang, but the core of Xi'im is unnaturalistic, so I don't know how to do it.

1. Phonology (X-SAMPA):
/p b pp\ bb\ p\ b\ m w/ p b f v pf bv m w
/t d ts dz s z n l/ t d ts dz s z n l
/k g kx gG x G j/ k g kx gr x r j
/h\ @*/ ' [unmarked]
/i y u/ i y u
/e o/ e o
/a/ a
max = CCVC (@ counts as V)
*#CC# to #C@C# and this the only situation when /@/ appears

2. How to make it an artlang?

3. Is better to allow CC as permitted syllable and make /@/ phonetic or make vowel required in all syllables and stay with phonemic /@/?

max = CCVC (@ counts as V)
*#CC# to #C@C# and this the only situation when /@/ appears

2. How to make it an artlang?

It is an artlang. The definition of an artlang is a language that is created as art (i.e. not an auxlang). This is not an auxlang, thus it is an artlang.

3. Is better to allow CC as permitted syllable and make /@/ phonetic or make vowel required in all syllables and stay with phonemic /@/?

The two are not equivalent. For example, if [ə] is phonemic, /kət/ > [kət] and /kət-a/ > [kəta], but if it's phonetic, /kt/ > [kət], /kt-a/ > [kta].

1) It is an artlang. The definition of an artlang is a language that is created as art (i.e. not an auxlang). This is not an auxlang, thus it is an artlang.

1) I asked the wrong question. How to make it naturalistic?

2) Thank you! Below are the changes:
/[...] N/ [...] q
/h\/ '
[...]
Syllable structure is (C)VC(C), in exception of #CC# where [@] is inserted between consonants.

How to make Xi'im naturalistic?

[Visions1]

What are your goals for Xi'im? Are you still making each sound representative of things?

What are your goals for Xi'im? Are you still making each sound representative of things?

Yes. Goals are the same.

I decided that Xi'im needn't to be naturalistic.
