Phonology

The phonology of the Melkwezer dialect is similar to that of the Orsmaal-Gussenhoven dialect, but there are differences. For instance, the /uɪ/ diphthong in the Orsmaal-Gussenhoven dialect corresponds to /ɔɪ/ in the Melkwezer dialect.[3]

gollark: Unless the universe is just being simulated by accident as part of solving some complex optimization problem or something weird like that.
gollark: Basically the only universal is probably that less computation is preferred.
gollark: The laws of physics their computers run on might happen to allow some specific computations to run very fast, or make it run very slowly.
