Petankian phonemes

Hello there, Name's here.

This is the second episode. As the title suggests, it's an episode about phonemes in Petankian.

I wanted to do a table, but I don't know if it fits to this language. Let's just do it first and I will give some explanation afterwards.

First, vowels.

And consonants. (the consonants in brackets are personal preferences. some people like to pronounce certain letter like that etc.)

So, I guess it worked? I think you get it. But, You don't know how the letter looks yet, right? I'll show you now with the corresponding sounds.

Nothing special btw. It's just alphabets.

a = ɐ
b = b
c = s
d = d
e = ɛ
f = f
g = g
h = h
i = i
j = j
k = k
l = ɭ
m = m
n = n
o = o
p = p
q = k/g/h/q depends, normally k or g
r = r
s = ɕ
t = t
u = ʉ
v = v
w = w/ʋ depends normaly w
x = ç
y = ʝ
z = z

and here are some combined consonants.

c variants
c (s) + s (ɕ) = cs (ʃ)
z (z) + s (ɕ) = zs (ʑ)
z (z) + cs (ʃ) = zcs (ʒ)

t variants
h (h) + t (t) = ht (t̪) this is real. say hhhhhh and try to say t you get this sound.
h (h) + t (d) = hd (d̪)

t (t) + c (s) = tc (ts)
t (t) + s (ɕ) = ts (tɕ)
t (t) + cs (ʃ) = tcs (tʃ)

d (t) + c (s) = dc (ds)
d (t) + s (ɕ) = ds (dɕ)
d (t) + cs (ʃ) = dcs (dʃ)
(dc, ds, dcs are uncommon and hard to pronunce, so you can just say z, zs, zcs instead.)

x variants (uncommon)
x (ç) + c (s) = xc (θ) this is ACTUALLY REAL. just try it. say çççççç and try to say s and you get exactly the sound θ.
x (ç) + z (z) = xz (ð)

Oh yeah, I almost forgot about combined vowels. Don't worry, it's short.

ou = ə
oi = ɨ

It might seem much, but they are mostly the same as germans or russians and the combined letters are just straight forward, so no worries. Unfortunately I couldn't come up with a good example sentence in petankian, so no practice I guess. Maybe go to my ZipDic and try to pronounce some of the words there.

Goodbye guys, see you in the next episode.
