Well...it's very throaty (I can't really remember it was like 4 years ago)
There's a lot of 'ach' sounds (i think, correct me if I'm wrong)

I was listening to some of the pronounciations, it sounds awesome. It would be cool to learn it, but who'd you speak it with? Its almost if not a dead language. But it does sound awesome. smile
