About Rralthlarr
The language of the country Rralthhlarr, and sharing the same name. One of 2 languages that is still alive excluding kwano. The other being Sauikou.
This is basically what happened when I thought 'what would happen if you took an abjad, but you also don't pronounce the vowels'. So it contains a lot of consonant cluster, and possibly unpronounceable looking words.
I then made it worse by assigning meaning to most phonemes, giving it a very logical system for creating words.
Strictly speaking it does have vowels in the words, but these started getting dropped from words as all the information is conveyed by the consonants, making an abjad a fitting type of script to use.
The dictionary has alternate form words that I have used to show an altered version of its IPA pronunciation, including extra vowels and syllable breaks to show how I intend it to be pronounced.
This is technically a jokelang, but I feel artlang is still an appropriate tag.
