Most pre-nasalised consonants cannot occur initially, excepting /ᵐb/ which occurs not infrequently (but often unnasalised) Was there a natlang inspiration for this specific feature? Not that I don't think it's realistic, I'd just be interested to see it in a natlang. Ancient Egyptian also had a /b/...
Chwakesha
So I've been rather obsessed (what else is new?) with a conlang a few years back called Chavakani , which as its base is a blend of Japanese, Niger-Congo, and Austronesian aesthetic. I really like the idea, but as far as I know, the project has been dead for six or so years, so I thought I might mak...
