(need an Icon) #Languary Day One: Rough set of Phonemes

The Language of Whispers (Working Name) – Working Phoneme Set

The Language of Whispers has what we can call Liturgical Whispers, a working language used for texts and ceremonies, as well as at least three modern dialects: Heretical, Rebel, and Institutional, which include some phoneme shifts in each.

This may not be a complete list, as it only has 22 11 consonant sounds and 5 vowel sounds. But it’s a start.

I based the set off of a gibberish language I’ve used from time to time.

Added a couple when I made it a table; they’re in bold. Dialectical differences are in parentheses.

  1. You have sounds worked out! I need to go back in the morning and make a list of mine. Also the notes on how to say them. I admit to going ‘this is how I want that to sound, now what does my dictionary say about that?’
