Northeast Aeséni language

The Aeséni language is the language of the Aeséni people. It is an agglutinative language with an flexible word-order, although SVO is preferred.

Consonants

 * All consonants can be geminated.
 * With the exception of /ɣ/, all of the liquids are phonemes on their own. /ɣ/ on the other hand is merely an allophone of morpheme-final /k/ before a morpheme that begins with a vowel.
 * Morpheme-finally, the stops /p t c k/ soften to /w ɾ j ɣ/ if the following morpheme begins with a vowel. This only happens if the aforementioned consonant is not geminated.
 * The realization of the liquids /w l j ɣ/ vary between fricatives [β̝ ɮ ʝ ɣ] and approximants [β̞ l j ɰ], although they tend to lean towards approximant.
 * The single, ungeminated /ɾ/ varies between flap [ɾ] and trill [r], albeit the flap is preferred. The geminated /ɾː/ is always realized as a trilled [rː].

Vowels

 * The front rounded and back unrounded vowels are somewhat centralized
 * The short close vowels are actually near-close, while the long close vowels  are truly close.
 * The short mid vowels are truly mid, while the long mid vowels  are close-mid
 * The short open vowels are somewhat centralized, while their long counterparts  are pure front/back.

Vowel harmony
Each word can have only front or back vowels, not both of them. When putting simple words together to form longer words, the latest root word's vowel class defines the whole word - all the previous root words progressively assimilate to it. Conjugations regressively assimilate instead.

But if we decided to name a tribe after the coat they wear...
