Nohenààtza /nəwhəˈnɑːtsə/ is a Ngquhwə language spoken on the north of the Great Sea and is the official language of Hentzo. It is traditionally written with the [Block Script], but today the [Side Script] is preferred.
Phonology
Consonants
| Labial | Alveolar | Palatal | Velar | Uvular | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Apical | Laminal | |||||
| Nasal | m | n | (ŋ) | (ɴ) | ||
| Plosive | p | t̺ | t̻ | k | q | |
| Fricative | f | s̺ | s̻ | h | ||
| Liquid | r | j | w | |||
The Laminal obstruents /t̻/ and /s̻/ are in free variation with /t͡s/ and /z/, and many non-natives default to this pronunciation, thus giving it a lower prestige, even amongst dialects where these are historically used.
