-# Phonology
-
-## Consonants
-
-Main consonants are listed in the table below:
-
-|               | labial | alveolar | palatal | uvular    | glottal |
-|---------------|--------|----------|---------|-----------|---------|
-| **nasal**     | m      | n        | ɲ (*nj*)  | ŋ (*n*, *ng*) |         |
-| **plosive**   | p b    | t d      |         | k (*c*) ɡ (*g*)   | ʔ       |
-| **fricative** | f v    | s z      |         | x (*ch*) ɣ (*gh*) | h   |
-| **sonorant**  | w      | ɹ (*r*) l  | j       |           |         |
-
-Notes:
-
-- *n* is pronounced as /ŋ/ only if it is followed by another consonant
-- The glottal stop /ʔ/ is not written. It's implied when a syllable does not
-  have other consonants (similar to Vietnamese).
-- *nj* is pronounced as /ɲ/ even when the two letters are from different words.
-  The sames go for other digraphs (ng, ch, gh)
-- Some dialects may pronounce *s*, *z* as 
-
-## Vowels
-
-|       | front        | centre | back        |
-|-------|--------------|--------|-------------|
-| open  | i y          | ɨ (*uë*) | u           |
-| mid   | ɛ (*e*) e (*aë*) | ə (*oë*) | ɔ (*o*) o (*oü*)|
-| close | a            |        |             |
-
-Notes: In Hàësdáëga's native script all vowels are written as only one character.
-
-### Diphthongs and long vowels
-
-Long vowels are written as duplicated vowels, with the second character having
-a diaresis (for example *aä* is pronounced /aː/). For vowels whose
-romanizations contain two characters, the later vowel is duplicated (for
-example, long version of *aë* is *aëë*)
-
-Diphthongs are written similarly. They're listed below:
-
-- aï /aɪ/
-- aü /aʊ/
-- aëï /eɪ/
-- oëï /əɪ/
-- oÿ /oʏ/
-- uï /uɪ/
-
-## Tones
-
-There are three tones in Hàësdáëga:
-
-- level tone (a) /˧˧/
-- rising tone (á) /˧˥/
-- falling tone (à) /˥˩/
-
-## Phonotactics
-
-Syllables in Hàësdáëga have a simple structure: **CVT(C)**
-
-The final consonants can't be sonorants, /h/, /ʔ/, and voiced vowels if they
-have voiceless equivalents.  Other than that, there isn't any constraints.
-
-There are thus:
-
-\\( 22  × (10 × 2 + 6 )  × 3  × 11  = 18876  \\) (possible syllables)
-
-Note: These numbers mean:
-
-- 22 consonants
-- 10 vowels and their long version
-- 6 diphthongs
-- 3 tones
-- 10 final consonants
