Transcription

Below is a list of techniques one can use to transcribe foreign words into Toaq's phonology.

• Render approximate onsets /w/ as ba.
• Render approximate onsets /j/ as j.
• Render "n + consonant" pairings as a syllable-final q on the previous word: "pans" -> paqsy.
• Render "t + s" pairings as c and "d + z" pairings as z: "rights" -> raıcy and "rides" -> . (This may seem like an obvious rule, but it can be easy to forget that these particular "consonant clusters" are allowed in Toaq's morphology.)
