About Mangellian
Mangellian is an international auxiliary language created by Hyphen in the year 1913. It was made with the intention of being the best possible language for communication, based chiefly on reconstructions of the hypothetical Proto-Mangellian, Proto-Nenta, and Proto-West-Gomensayan, but has since received much criticism due to its bloated phonemic inventory and sounding like nonsense to anyone who hasn't formally studying the language, resulting in the autonym of Mangellian to be loaned into several other languages to mean "gibberish."

Additional NotesA letter is followed by х to aspirate it, ь to palatalize it, ъ to velarize it, and ə to labialize it. Voiced plosives become implosives when followed by х rather than aspirated plosives, while vowels become rounded when followed by ə.
