Hello, so I've posted about my conlang in progress in the past, but I still find myself stuck. Right now I am trying to figure out which sounds I want to focus on in the language. I am hoping to find a language that I can use as a reference point, but considering that I am not a linguist, this has proven to be difficult.
First of all, a few sample words (nothing is totally set in stone yet, just been playing around with sounds).
djalgu
majani
duun
khoru
taikhu
olg
akha
I really like the idea of using the digraphs kh and dj, and really like the look of the uu. Based on these sample words, do any particular languages come to mind? Also, are there any that seem like they don't fit with the others? Like I said, I'm SUPER new to the whole linguistics/conlang thing, so I know very little of this. But if anyone has an idea of a language I can use for reference based off of these, then that would be stellar. Thanks ahead of time! If you have questions about the language, like the background of the people or whatnot, let me know.
Speaking of that, there is another nation that uses a similar language, and their culture has history with the one I'm developing the conlang for, so maybe that is a factor as well (they use more harsh sounds). I've also been lightweight figuring out how to structure sentences and whatnot, so if you have questions about that as well, let me know.
