'''New Karanesa''' ([[w:International Phonetic Alphabet|IPA]]: [{{IPA|kaˈranɛsa}}]) is a [[Nentan languages|Nentan]] language spoken in Quillan. Derived from the former prestige language in the Quill Kingdom, Imperial Karanesa, New Karanesa is a constructed language ~~maintained~~ to make reading of Karanesa Empire-era and earlier works easier. It is assumed to be mostly compatible with Imperial Karanesa, though they are separated by time, so its compatibility is impossible to evaluate for certain.

'''New Karanesa''' ([[w:International Phonetic Alphabet|IPA]]: [{{IPA|kaˈranɛsa}}]) is a [[Nentan languages|Nentan]] language spoken in Quillan. Derived from the former prestige language in the Quill Kingdom, Imperial Karanesa, New Karanesa is a semi-constructed language, a standardized form of [[Karroka]] and [[High Karanesa]] created with the intent to make reading of Karanesa Empire-era and earlier works easier. It is assumed to be mostly compatible with Imperial Karanesa, though they are separated by time, so its compatibility is impossible to evaluate for certain.

Line 186:

The following strings of phonemes that may occur due to affixes or compounding are not allowed:

* Any ~~phoneme~~ followed by itself; if a conflict occurs, one is dropped for consonants.

* Any sonorant followed by itself; if a conflict occurs, one is dropped for consonants.

** Vowel handling under this rule differs between dialects, though usually either they combine to a long vowel, or the latter vowel is given hard attack. Dialects where the latter is common may write such words as if they had an intervening /q/ between the vowels.

* Two consecutive consonants that differ only in voicing; if a conflict occurs, then the voiced ~~vowel is kept~~ unless the prior vowel is phonetically short (/i u e o ə a/) and unstressed, then the unvoiced ~~consonant~~ is ~~kept~~.

* Two consecutive consonants that differ only in voicing; if a conflict occurs, then the unvoiced consonant becomes voiced unless the prior vowel is phonetically short (/i u e o ə a/) and unstressed, then the voiced consonant becomes unvoiced.

* Any obstruent followed by another of the same manner of articulation; if this occurs, then the one closest to the root is duplicated to the one further from the root.
