Khí ón úna ni, sáso… Sénkho ni uá sú sána khué okha uá khísi ni nái íi ákhe. Khí síin óa saua ni.

Sénkho á sána khué, á ákhe.

English

This is just me, but… When I say a word with two of the same sound right next to each other, I add a small “rest” (a glottal stop) in between. That feels right to me.

When it’s not (two of) the same sound, no glottal stop.

(e.x. “íi” ón “EE ee”, “síkheén” ón “SEE heh EN”. Sáso “nái” ón “nigh”.)

Khía nái khí? Á?

Sáso séne uá Uá khué sána? Úna Nátiv Ámerícan uá?

English

But what language would it sound like? Maybe a Native American language?
