-Caerimoscnë is a langauge 👍
+Caerimoscnë (<small>pronunciation:</small> [[w:Help:IPA|[t͡se̞ɾʲimo̞ɕt͡ɕɲə]]]) is a [[Mallo-Brausian]] language native to the Brausian country of [[Caerimrodhë]]. It is also spoken in (GFHGJFGJKSJ).
+== History ==
+Within the Mallo-Brausian language family, Caerimoscnë appears to exist on a separate branch from all other extant Mallo-Brausian languages.
+== Phonology ==
+Caerimoscnë's phonology involves many morphophonological processes that can be seen when words are affixed. In some cases, certain consonant phonemes pattern differently to their phonetic pronunciation when looking at these processes.
+The following is a table showing the consonants of Caerimoscnë as they are pronounced.

+All consonants apart from /w/, /j/, /ɾ/, /h/, and the voiceless resonants are able to be geminated, though this may be better analyzed as a sequence of two of the same consonant.
+However, in terms of phonological patterning, the consonants may be better described like this:

+As shown in the table, the phoneme /ʍ/ in fact patterns as the voiceless counterpart to /m/, and /q/ patterns as the dorsal affricate.
+The term "tone-causing" when discussing Caerimoscnë refers to consonants which give a high tone to a preceding vowel. They pattern as separate phonemes, or perhaps diaphonemes, since they are pronounced identically to their non-tone-causing equivalents in all contexts.
+This table also shows the patterning between plain and palatalized coronal consonants, which forms the basis of Caerimoscnë's highly pervasive palatalization process.
