Ktarh Phonotaxis
Yay für me! In this part, I shall describe the rules of what can go and what can't together. This stuff is as simple as the phonology, but not quite.
Intro
Here, you will see the entirety of the phonotactics of the language, including clusters and the like. Seeing that this stuff is very important, you shall read it!
Basics
First of all, you should know the basic syllable and morpheme structure:
(C)(C)V(C) --- General syllable structure
(C)(C)V(C)V...(C) --- General morpheme structure
Here, the Consonants are T, D, K, S, Z, Sh, Zh, H, M, N and R. Note that I have excluded the glottal stop, for reasons which you are to see.
Reasons which we are yet to see
Essentially, the glottal stop is found either only after vowels, where it resets syllable rules, or inside clusters.
Clusters
Yay! Clusters, yet not solely consonant clusters, are an important part of the language. There are two official clusters or three complete:
S'(M)N --- The "S'nari" cluster, actually two.
K'NA --- The "K'nari" cluster, contains vowels.
Impossible Combinations
The title says what kind they are, but what are they?
S/Sh/Z/Zh/H + Z/Sh
Z/Sh + S/Sh/Z/Zh/H
M/N + T
T + D/K/T
D + Sh/Zh/H
A + Æ
S/Z/Sh/Zh/H/T/D/K/M/N/R + Glottal stop
Extro
That's all folks!

The second page describing my Ktarh language
(Note that the word "Ktarh" is a demonym inside the language itself, but I've grown too fond of it to replace it )
