Plosives p t k
Fricatives Voiceless ɸ s ɕ
Voiced β z ʑ ʀ

Vowels Front Back
Rounded Unrounded
Close i y u
Close-Mid e ø o
Open-Mid ɛ ɔ

Writing the language

Mosici is writen using the Nahan script (Mosici: narahnc an-cirta /naʀãːk ãkeʀta/), also know as the Póliah script (Mosici: Póliahc an-cirta /puljaːk ãkeʀta/).

The letters are the following:

Letter Name Translitteration IPA Value
p paí p /p/
o ós o /o/
l lán l /l/
i írni i /e/, /j/
a ánta a /a/
h hapfe h ∅, lengthens a preceding vowel
r ris r /ʀ/
u uoc u /w/
c cal c /k/
n naol n /n/, nasalises a previous vowel, not pronounced in codas
e éstal e /ɛ/
s sipal s /s/
z zorel z /z/
f fasoh f /ɸ/
v viren v /β/
m milo m /m/
t tecio t /t/

Strappo

The nahan script also uses a diacritic: the Strappo (Mosici sitrapaóh /ɕtrapoː/) that modify the value of the vowel letters. It is usually translitterated with an acute.

Letter Value
á /ɔ/
é /i/
í /i/
ó /u/

Vowel Coalescence

Vowel coalescence is a large sound change that affected Mosici’s vowel clusters after the fosilisation of spelling. Its understanding is therefore necesary to read Mosici words properly.

This table summarises the coalescence patterns:

  • All values in IPA
  • If the first vowel is nasal, no coalescence happen, instead the /n/ is pronounced
  • If the second vowel is nasal, the resulting vowel is nasal
  • Of any of the vowel is long, the resulting vowel is long
  • Coalescence is applied left to right.
