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
A- father B- brother 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.
