Phonotactics
Atinú's syllable structure is (C)(C)V(C)(C), where:
- C = consonant
- V = vowel
Atinú's phonotactics are pretty simple, but there are some rules to follow:
-
some clusters are illegal, heres an image that shows the legal clusters
- GREEN: legal clusters
- YELLOW: coda clusters
- RED: illegal clusters
- double clusters are illegal, they must be broken up by a <q> (example: nn, aa ❌, nqn, aqa ⭕)
- <ñ> always needs to be followed by a vowel
