Spoken in the mountainous heartlands of the Southern Continent, Srindi remains unique amongst recorded languages for its complex phonological profile compared to other widespread languages in the region.

Srindi is characterised by its three-way contrast in stops and affricates, distinguishing voicing and aspiration. Additionally, it possesses a distinction between alveolar and post-alveolar (often realized as partially palatalized) affricates and fricatives. This contrast is rare on the mainland but common to the Northern Island Languages like VΓ΄ or HkΓ‘n. Unlike those languages, however, Srindic nasals, glides and trills are not phonemically distinguished for voice.
Allophonically, the "plain series" -- /p, t, k, tΝ‘s, tΝ‘Κ/ -- can be realized as weak ejectives, especially in certain dialects. Resonants are also subject to assimilatory voicing and devoicing when in contact with other consonants, but again this is not phonemic.

Srindi's vowel inventory follows a simple five-vowel system and lacks a length or breathiness distinction; they are usually realized as their cardinal values. Diphthongs are phonologically invalid, and subject to /h/ epenthesis; this is especially clear in inter-lingual borrowings:
peΓ€n (Hill Tribe "male reindeer") --> αΉehani (Srindi "reindeer")
However, vowel-glide sequences regularly occur in both onset and coda positions, such as Ε‘αΈ³wezi /ΚkΚ°wΙzi/ ("javelin") and bziyΚi ("bumblebee").
Stress occurs on the initial syllable of a word and is thus non-contrastive.
Phonotactics
The defining para-linguistic feature of the Srindic languages is their initial consonant clusters. Such sequences regularly violate the sonority hierarchy, such as sprcelti or wΕΎgami. The structure of a Srindic syllable is as follows:
(C0)(C1)(C2)(C3)V
Where C0 is equal to /s ~ z/, C1 to any consonant, and C2 and C3 any consonants which agree in voicing or aspiration with C1; V is any vowel. When clusters occur, Srindi has syllabic consonant harmony β sibilant affricates and fricatives, if clustered, must agree in their place of articulation, even if separated by another consonant. C0 is thus s

I think it's naime_sultan as she gives alot of verbal to others
Karma chats so much shit about dead opps when Moscow didn't even know who he was. He went jail and no-one knows why. Russ was (allegedly) oj before prison and somehow chats less than karma. I like karma as an artist only when he's a feature, all of his solo songs get jarring after a couple listens and are just wet when you realise he's basically a civilian.

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Do your worst!
Aight everyday we have bare convos bout whoβs the best in drill, best flows, lyricism, word play, elite visuals, most cruddy, verbalist, most influential, most hits, versatility, beats, longevity, earnings, etc.
Now itβs time to really define who the king of UK drill is.
Based on comments from this sub. Here are your top 6 names.
If someone should be removed and replaced. Comment and imma replace and run it again.
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies π
It really does, I swear!

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
When I got home, they were still there.

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.
Daughter: I'm hungry
Me: nerves building, smile widening
Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.
She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
Thank you all for listening.
