Llhaddii is a conlang I created for Agma Schwa's Cursed Conlang Circus 4. Unfortunately, I managed my time really poorly, and also was too confused on how to implement some of my cursed ideas, so my final submission wasn't nearly as cursed as the original idea. I'm now changing the language to be more in line with my original idea, as well as making it even more cursed than originally planned :)
Phonology
Llhaddii is spoken by a species of opossum-relatives in an alternate dimension of Earth. They cannot make bilabial, dental, or uvular sounds, due to ther lack of lip muscles, a "wall" of front teeth, and uvula.
All opossums in this culture have their tongue split as part of the coming-of-age ritual, so as to be more like the snakes they worship.
There is a distinction between consonants pronounced with the tongue together (like someone with a non-split tongue), consonants pronounced with the tongue halves spread apart, and consonants pronounced with only one tongue half.
This is the most disgusting table I have ever made for anything ever, much less for a conlang. Cursed conlang, indeed.
"Typ" refers to a typical articulation, with the two tongue-halves kept together.
"Spread" refers to the articulation where the two tongue-halves are spread apart. It is written using the laminal diacritic and can be approximated by pronouncing a consonant more laminally (with the blade of the tongue).
"Half" in the alveolar refers to one tongue-tip being used. It is written using the apical diacritic and can be approximated by pronouncing a consonant more apically (with the tip on the tongue).
"Half" in the linguolabial and retroflex refers to one tongue-half being used to make a linguolabial or retroflex and one tongue-half being used to make an alveolar.They are written with the linguolabial/retroflex symbol and alveolar symbol connected with a tie-bar, and can be approximated by pronouncing the two sounds in quick succession.
If you just so happen to be reading this and actually have a split tongue, please comment on my site if either of these simultaneous articulations are actually possible. I'm fairly certain that half-retroflex would be possible, but I'm on the fence about half-linguolabial.
