PALATALIZATION
palatization occurs on some syllables between a consonant and a vowel or in place of a vowel in a final syllable, and is represented by a y (my), followed then by a vowel, a vowel and ending consonant (n, k, d, ks, t͡s, t͡ʃ, s, x, v, r, or l), or nothing, leaving just the palatalized consonant.  If just the palatalized consonant, sometimes e is used instead (me).  If an ending consonant, the vowel [I] or [i] is always the one between the two consonants.  Sometimes appears as i for words that are late adoptions from bretonnic or nibennic, or that belong to a highly easternized dialect (mi, seen for example in Robiliard and in other colovian names ending in -ian, usually a result of names adopted from the east, as well as east colovian versions of names like Vlarimil (original form: Vlaremyl))  Palatization is often not utilized properly by non-native colovians, and just used as a [j] or [ij] when leading into a vowel, or only as a [i] or [I] when on its own or leading into another consonant.
can occur with m, n, p, t, k, b, g, t͡s, d͡z, t͡ʃ, f, v, z, s, ʃ, x, r, l, w, ʂ

Consonant doubling
Double consonants are always used to represent a point where a consonant is featured at the end of one syllable and the beginning of another.  Not utilized for anything else.

p-p
t-t or th
k-k, ck, less commonly c, and ch.
(ck and c derives from a few sources- in some words, it comes from old colovian in which c represented ʂ, that eventually shifted into either being soundless or into being a [k] around the mid first era.  In some instances c as k came about from eastern and central imperial loaning, which uses c to represent both a k and an s, as well as some instances of breton loaning.  ch comes from a combination of central imperial loanwords that uses ch for an aspirated [k], and dialectal differences that ended up reflecting the central imperial usage for [x], which was also represented as a ch and as a [k] by the heartlands.)
b-b
g-g
t͡s-c
(in certain dialects that exist patchily in eastern colovia and the great forest, where c normally represents [s], it represents this instead; most common in loanings in these regions; example being 'Celia' pronounced t͡si:lʲə)
d͡z-z
(similar circumstances, except with z)
t͡ʃ-tch
d͡ʒ-j
f-f
v-v
z-z (often dental)
s-s, c
(s most commonly, but in some eastern adoptions and dialects c is used instead or interchangeably.)
ʃ-ch
x-kh, sometimes ch by easternization or southern-nordic blending
h-h
r-r
ɹ-used only at the end of a syllable, and always seperated from other consonants by a vowel.
l-l
j-y or i, rarely on its own outside of palatization.
w-w or u, uncommon, and in many instances of w are representing vowels
ʂ-sz, in a few rare cases still represented by c


exceptions and rule breaks exist throughout due to nibennic adoptions, ra'ga adoptions, and breto-colovic communities, especially amongst breto colovs, which mixes a lot of way more english shit into it.  For example, G sometimes being d͡ʒ, inclusion of θ for th, etc.
probably'd have diacritics to differentiate its c.




if a consonant is followed by the schwa vowel followed by the consonant l or r or ɹ which end a syllable, then the schwa does not need to be represented in writing, or as an e after the r or l.
Examples: Rislgrad (risəlgrad), Sancre (sɔnkər), etc.

	palatalized normally counts as single c but *can* function as cv if final syllable, generally rare or uncommon if not part of the final syllable, or immediately preceeding the vowel of the final syllable.  Usually occur with some end vowel, or with the vowel [i] or [I] and immediately followed by one of the consonants n, k, d, ks, t͡s, t͡ʃ, s, x, v, r, or l.
