#muchik

La tonada del Chimo -- a religious song in muchik, an indigenous language spoken until the 20th century in what is now the northern coast of Peru.

Still need to find good glyphs for EIGHT new sounds. Even after I designed two yesterday, AND made the executive decision that /ð/ ('th') glyphs are going to be merged with /j/ ('y') glyphs for now, which dealt with another two.

('Th' sounds are pretty rare outside of suffixes, and a quarter of the time they alternate with 'y's anyways. Also, they only start loanwords, which makes it hard to figure out glyphs. But '-eiō' (/ejoː/) and '-edo' (/eðo/) have VERY different meanings, so I remain conflicted.)

[Image Description: People reenacting the ancient Moche. The group wear tunics and additional elements add to their historical costumes. The most vibrant colors are gold and red. Aboard reed boats, they sail off across the waves. There are two boats, one manned by one person, and the other, manned by a crew of over a dozen people. The larger boat has a sail, complete with a white flag with a faded design.
