Kilvanan (natively Kilvanacatr /kilvanat͡satr̩/) is the primary language of Fortsanaphat.
Phonology
Consonants
| labial | coronal | dorsal | |
|---|---|---|---|
| nasal | m | n | ŋ |
| plosive | p, b | t, d, t͡s, d͡z | k, g, q |
| fricative | ɸ, β, f, v | θ, ð, s, z | x, ɣ |
| liquid | w | l, r | j, (w) |
- /t͡s, d͡z, s, z, k, g, x, ɣ/ are realized as [t͡ʃ, d͡ʒ, ʃ, ʒ, c, ɟ, ç, ʝ] respectively when preceeding /i, y, e, j/
- /q/ is realized as [k] adjacent to /i, y, e, j/
- /l/ and /n/ are realized as [ʎ] and [ɲ] respectively after /i, y, e, j/
Vowels
| front | central | back | |
|---|---|---|---|
| high | i, y | u | |
| mid | e | ə | o |
| low | a |
Kilvanan uses a 7-vowel system.
- when preceeding a nasal, vowels become nasalized
- when adjacent to /q/, /ə/ and /a/ are realized as [ɵ̞] and [ɒ]
- nasals and liquids may act as vowels; /w/ and /j/ are replaced by /u/ and /i/ when acting as a vowel
Phonotactics
Kilvanan phonotactics seem to be fairly unrestrictive. An example of a maximum syllable is /fort͡s/, the word for snow.
