Kachoseyin Language

Kachoseyin is a language native to Roseya, a region in northern Caerus. 
== Phonology ==
=== Consonants ===
Kachoseyin's consonant inventory is notable for it's uvular and palatal series. It contains voiced stops, as well as two voiced fricatives. Kachoseyin's palatal stops, /c/ and /ɟ/, are actually affricates, t͡ɕ and d͡ʑ.
All nasals assimilate with following stops.
==== Consonant Inventory ====
 	Labial	Alveolar	Alveolar	Palatal	Velar	Velar	Uvular
Nasal 	/m/ 	/n/ 	 	 	 	 	
Stop 	/p/ 	/t/ 	 	/c/ 	/k/ 	/kʷ/ 	/q/
Stop 	/b/ 	/d/ 	 	/ɟ/ 	/g/ 	/gʷ/ 	
Fricative	/f/ 	/s/ 	/ɬ/1 	/ɕ/ 	/x/ 	 	/χ/
Fricative	/v/ 	 	/ɮ/1 	/ʑ/ 	 	 	
Liquid 	 	/r/ 	/l/ 	/j/ 	 	 	
1 : In the Yaqseya dialect, the consonant clusters /ls/ and /lɕ/ are prononounced [ɬ], and /lʑ/ is pronounced [ɮ]. This change doesn't happen where there previously was an [ɨ] seperating the consonants.

=== Vowels ===
Kachoseyin has a standard 5-vowel system. Although, this inventory is expanded when counting allophony.
==== Vowel Inventory ====
 	Front	Central	Back
High	i 	 	u
Mid 	e 	 	o
Low 	 	a 	
==== Vowel Allophony ====
[a] and [i] undergo soundchanges in certain invoriments.
[a] is backed to [ɑ], when followed by a uvular consonant.
[a] is fronted to [æ], when in word-final position.
[i] is backed to [ɨ] when surrounded by alveolar consonants.
=== Dialectal Variation ===
The previously listed information is true for the Ikayutseya dialect. Different dialects of Kachoseyin have different variation.
==== Yaqseya (Nordstad) ====
Yaqseya is the northern region of Roseya. It's capital of Nordstad has evolved its own dialect. In Yaqseya, vowels are greatly altered, as seen on the chart below.
Ikayutseya	Yaqseya
[i] 	[e]
[u] 	[o]
[e] 	[ɛ]
[o] 	[ɔ]
[ɨ] 	*
In the north, the [ɨ] lowered to [ə], which then disappeared. It's important to know, that /r/ following a vowel is lost, lengthening the preceding vowel. The Yaqseyin vowel inventory therefore looks like this:
Short	Front	Central	Back	Long	Front	Central	Back
High 	e 	 	o 	High	eː 	 	oː
Mid 	ɛ 	 	ɔ 	Mid 	ɛː 	 	ɔː
Low 	 	a 	 	Low 	 	aː
