Why Hello. This is AnPan, back after a long break.
This is Tavdokat, my most recent conlang.
This addition has a lot of French, Norwegian, Polish and Russian in it.
The Alphabet- Deg Alpfobetak

C- cats
Ċ- chair
D- dad
Ţ- bath
E- met
F- father
G- get
Ġ- German 'ch' sound
H- hat
I- meet
J- yes
K- kick
L- yell
M- mom
N- net
Ň- canyon
O- phone
P- pet
R- right
S- so
Ş- ship
T- today
U- food
V- vary
Y- bit
Z- zebra
Ż- pleasure
Diphthongs-
Au- cow
Ei/ Ey- may
Ai/ Ay/ Aj- eye
Oi/ Oj- boy
*Sc- ship
*Cc- chest
*Zc- pleasure
* These diphthongs are used only at the beginning of a word, or if they come before a consonant.
This is the map of Tavdokiaat {Tavdokia in English}. I did this on MS Paint, in about 15 minutes. I'm so lazy. wink . And there is one spelling mistake. The Kopane {State} of Duschat {northwest} is spelled 'Duscha' on the map. Opps. And it is pronounced [doosh uh], just thought you might like to know.

Now we need to talk about spelling rules.
Tavdokat has many of them.
-A 'g' or 't' is silent at the end of a word, if a vowel proceeds them.
Tavdokat= [tahv-doh-kah]
The only way for these letters to be pronounced is to add a grave accent to the vowel before them.
-An 'e' is silent at the end of a word, unless you add a dot above.
Ex. Pumdė= [poom-deh]= Puma
Anywhere else, the "ė" makes the "ay" sound.
-An 'l', 'r', 'n', 'm', or 'p' can be the last letter of a word, but you MUST soften it.
An 'e' must be the last letter of the word, or the 'l', 'r', 'n', 'm', or 'p' is not pronounced fully.
Mire= [meer]- For me
-An 'n' can be the last letter, but it is not pronounced.
It nasalizes the vowel before it unless it is followed by an 'e'.
Now a 't' is always after an 'a', 'e', 'i'.
The 'g' always follows an 'o', 'u', 'y', or any vowel combo. The exceptions to this is the combo "-eg:.
It is pronounced like may.
The other is when you have something like "àg" "ìg" The "g" is pronounced, because of the grave accent.
