Drake Language

Phonology

According to the game files (specifically, wesnoth/data/core/macros/names.cfg), the Drake language's phonological inventory consists of the following phonemes:

Consonants

	Labial	Coronal	Velar	Glottal
Nasal	m	n
Plosive	b	t d	k g	ʔ
Affricate		t͡ʃ
Fricative	v	θ s ʃ
Liquid		r l

Vowels

	Front	Back
Close	i	u
Mid	e	o
Open	a
Diphthong	au̯

Presumably, all consonants can be geminated and all vowels have a corresponding nasal variant due to the spelling peculiarities outlined in the game files.

Orthography

• All phonemes are orthographically represented the same way they are in english, except for /ʔ/, which is written as an apostrophe ⟨'⟩.
• Final ⟨hn⟩ serves as a nasalization marker.
• Final ⟨é⟩ indicates the vowel is spoken rather than modifying a medial vowel (there is no silent final 'e' in the language).
• Word-final ⟨ck⟩ has the value /k/.
