Phonetic and Phonological Features

The podcast episode discusses the constructed language kata puti, which belongs to the dumik languge family in the Akana conlang project. The language has a small consonant inventory, excluding the phoneme /b/ and has a unique feature where /s/ and /z/ can occur before stops. It also exhibits interesting mutation patterns, such as the unexpected mutation of /s/ to /p/. The language follows a regular stress system and has a gluttinative and ergative-absolutive morphosyntactic alignment.
