Kathyrian Urmhu (natively Cäþiriacen Urmhu [kəθɪjˈjɑkɛn ˈʊɰmʊ]) is a language spoken in Kathyria. It is the revised version of Kathyrian. It officially uses the Kathyrian alphabet.

Phonology

Kathyrian is analyzed to have 30 consonants and 9 vowels. The consonant inventory is as follows:

voiced b d d͡ʒ g
fricative voiceless f θ χ h

And the vowel inventory is:

Stress is placed on the final syllable if it is open and has a non-low vowel. Otherwise, stress falls on the penultimate syllable. Monosyllabic words are always stressed.
