Masar language

The Masar language, also known as Antang or Green Masar, is a language spoken by the Masars.

Consonants

 * Masar distinguishes between aspirated and strongly aspirated consonants. Strongly aspirated consonants are pronounced with more force than other consonants, and if one precedes a vowel, the pitch of the vowel is raised.
 * All dorsal consonants, with the exception of uvular /ɢ̆/, are velar.
 * /x/ is only present in some dialects. It is usually written as ⟨h⟩ or ⟨x⟩.
 * /n̼/ is realised as [m] before labial consonants.

Vowels

 * Short vowels are written as their IPA symbols. Long vowels are written with macrons, and historically with umlauts.
 * Word-finally, short vowels become devoiced and long vowels become short.

Phonotactics
Masar has a CV(C) syllable structure; additionally, syllables of the form V(C) can appear word-initially.

Only nasals, tenuis consonants, strongly aspirated consonants, and /j/ can appear syllable-finally.

A non-word-final syllable coda must be homorganic with the next consonant in its word. /n̼/ can come before labial consonants, where it is realised as [m].

Stress
Stress is predictable by the following rules:
 * If the first syllable of a word has no onset, the second syllable is stressed.
 * If the first syllable has both an onset and a coda, or if its coda is a long vowel, then it will be stressed.
 * Otherwise, the second syllable will be stressed.
