Phonology

Vowels


	Front	Center	Back
Centering	ia/iê [iə̯]	ưa/ươ [ɨə̯]	ua/uô [uə̯]
Close	i/y [iː] ĭ [i]	ư [ɨ]	u [uː] ŭ [u]
Close Mid/ Mid	ê [e]	ơ [əː] â [ə]	ô [o]
Close Open/ Open	e [ɛː] ĕ [ɛ]	a [aː] ă [a]	o [ɔː] ŏ [ɔ]

Front and central vowels (i, ĭ, ê, e, ĕ, ư, â, ơ, ă, a) are unrounded, whereas the back vowels (u, ŭ, ô, o, ŏ) are rounded. The vowels â [ə] and ă [a] are pronounced very short, much shorter than the other vowels. Thus, ơ and â are basically pronounced the same except that ơ [əː] is of normal length while â [ə] is short – the same applies to the vowels long a [aː] and short ă [a], same to long e [ɛː] and short ĕ [ɛ],...

The centering diphthongs are formed with only the three high vowels (i, ư, u). They are generally spelled as ia, ưa, ua when they end a word and are spelled iê, ươ, uô, respectively, when they are followed by a consonant.

In addition to single vowels (or monophthongs) and centering diphthongs, Vietnamese has closing diphthongs and triphthongs. The closing diphthongs and triphthongs consist of a main vowel component followed by a shorter semivowel offglide /j/ or /w/. There are restrictions on the high offglides: /j/ cannot occur after a front vowel (i, ĭ, ê, e, ĕ) nucleus and /w/ cannot occur after a back vowel (u, ŭ, ô, o, ŏ) nucleus.

The letter ĭ is always pronounced /i/ sound in every case, and i is sometimes pronounced /ɪ/ sound if followed by nh, ch, ñ, ng, nghc, nn, m, n, j.

Grammar

Impytish is a semi-isolated language. Grammatical relations are mainly expressed through the system of adjectives and the arrangement of word order in the sentence. The most common word order in Impytish is subject - predicate - object (SVO). However, the order in the sentence can in some cases be arranged according to the linguistic style of the topic, so that a sentence can be in the Object - Subject - Predicate (OSV) order.

Impytish has 5 tenses:

Present
Past
Instant Past
Future
Near Future

Words

Impytish vocabulary has two main parts: pure Impytish words and borrowed words. There are also mixed-race words that are the result of a combination of pure Impytish and foreign elements. Because Impytish has so many pure Impytish words, silent letters and their sounds were many difference from Vietnamese such as θ or ʒ, so the chance of being classified as their own branch of the Austroasiatic language family.
