Amilin, formally Westi Amilin (the Amilin Language), is a mysterious language that first appeared in early May 2021 in the undercity of Mount September among Squareblobist-Allenist radicals. It is widely suspected that animeme_master may have had a large role in the introduction of Amilin to this section of Septembrian society.
Usage
AllenY has announced plans to name some streets in the MtS undercity with Amilin names.
Writing system
Amilin has so far only been known to be written in the Latin alphabet.
Name | IPA | Notes |
---|---|---|
A a | /a/ | |
B b | /b/ | |
D d | /d/ [d~dʑ] | Allphonic with [dʑ] before /i/ in some speakers. |
E e | /ɛ/ | |
F f | /f/ [f~v] | [v] in consonant sequences containing a voiced consonant. |
G g | /g/ | |
I i | /i/ | |
K k | /k/ | |
L l | /l/ | May sometimes appear tapped or flapped as [ɾ] or [ɺ]. |
M m | /m/ | |
N n | /n/ [n~ŋ] | [ŋ] before a velar consonant. |
O o | /ɔ/ | |
P p | /p/ | |
S s | /s/ [s~z] | [z] in consonant sequences containing a voiced consonant. |
T t | /t/ [t~tɕ] | Allophonic with [tɕ] before /i/ in some speakers. |
U u | /u/ | |
W w | /w/ | |
Y y | /j/ |
The first letters of sentences and of proper names are capitalised; lowercase is used elsewhere.
The other letters of the Latin alphabet are used only in proper non-Amilin names.
