First éyam post
The name of this conlanguage is éyam...
One of my design goals with this conlang, is to see how much of a coherent conlanguage I can form, when using these pieces from real languages...
Therefore, the first post will be what parts compose this language. Note: My notes on the IPA symbols for these langauges stem from B.Comrie's book The World's Major Languages.
