About Zuiler
This was originally part of Brzhema, but then I realized they had to be separate. Brzhema is a very lip-heavy conlang; D'oile is very glottis-heavy.
I actually have a fairly easy time pronouncing all the glottal stops after consonants (particularly the voiced ones are kinda fun). This is in part because I genuinely thought this was how you were supposed to pronounce French when I was really little.

Syllable Structure(C)(ʔ)V(C), or C'VC, where O(nset) = any consonant other than /ʔ/, ' = ʔ, V = any vowel or diphthong, and C(oda) is any consonant other than /ʔ/ or voiceless plosives (voiced ones become voiceless ones before voiceless onsets or phrase-finally [in which it may be inaudible])
Stress informationUltimate stress; lower tone
OtherDue to phrase-initial vowels being preceded by a similar liquid (except /a/, which is preceded by /j/), triphthongs are fairly frequent, though are not phonemic. (example: eivei zui 'ahe > /ɛɪ̯vɛɪ̯ zʉi ʔaɛ/ > [jɛɪ̯vɛɪ̯ zɥi ʔa.ɛ]
/ʔ/ is a prominent consonant, and orthographically is connected to vowels distinct from those not preceded by /ʔ/)
Consonants ending one word but preceding another word beginning with only a vowel have their consonant shifted to the next word in liaison (i.e. z'ud ad > /zʔu‿dat/). Similarly, the opposite may occur; if a word ending in a vowel is followed by a consonant-/ʔ/ cluster, then liaison occurs in the opposite direction (i.e. t'ø n'afi > /tˀɵn‿ʔafi/).
