Mosici has the following phonemes:

@@ -25,6 +25,87 @@ There are also the following allophony rules:
- They are realised as uvular before /u o w/ or their long and/or nasalised variants
- They are realised as palatal after /i e j/ or their long and/or nasalised variants
- Otherwise they are realised as velar
-- The dorsal approximant /ʟ/ is realised as [ʉ] in coda position
+- The dorsal approximant /ʟ/ is realised as [ẅ] in coda position
- The dorsal approximant /ʀ/ is realised as [ɐ̯] in coda position
- The dorsal fricative /ʀ/ is realised as [ʁ] after consonants
+- /n/ nasalises a preceding vowel
+- /n/ is silent in coda positions (still nasalising tho)
+- /n/ assimilates to [ɲ] after a palatal consonant as well as before /i e j/, and to [ŋ] after a velar consonant
+## Coalescence
+Mosici doesn't allow consecutive vowels inside of words. To resolve would-be hiatuses, a coalescence process is used.
+This process is historic for all native words, but it still current to resolve diphthongs in loan words and is necessary to understand to read the written language, as the spelling was fixed before that sound change occurred.
+
+The process goes thusly (before applying the allophony):
+1. Group all consecutive vowels by pairs, starting at near the start of the word; ^coal-proc-1
+2. Combine all pairs of vowels according to the table below (the first vowel indexes the row, and the second vowel indexes the column);
+3. If any vowel is long, the resulting vowel is long;
+4. Repeat from [[#^coal-proc-1|1]] until all hiatus has been resolved.

+## The Nahan Script
+Mosici is written in the nahan alphabet (also named the Polia(h)r alphabet), which has the follwoing letters, digraphs and diacritics. The diacritic on the vowels is called the sitrapaóha [ɕdʁapɔː] (plural sitrapaóhaa [ɕdʁapoː])
