As the title says. This game was pretty popular on the old board (over 150 pages) and it was one of my favorites.

Compilation of natlang challenges from the old board (p. 1-37 so far)

Tones: high, mid, low, high falling, mid rising, low creaky, mid-falling breathy (pɔ́ pɔ pɔ̀ pɔ̂ pɔ̌ pɔ̰̀ pɔ̤̂)
Low creaky tone is realized phrase-finally as a long low rising tone.

Akhvakh

/p pʼ b t tʼ d k kː kʼ kʼː g ʔ/

/t͜s t͜sː t͜sʼ t͜sʼː t͜ʃ t͜ʃː t͜ʃʼ t͜ʃʼː d͜ʒ t͜ɬ t͜ɬː t͜ɬʼ t͜ɬʼː q͡χ q͡χː q͡χʼ q͡χʼː/
/v s sː z ʃ ʃː ʒ ɬ ɬː ç x xː ɣ ħ ʕ h/
/r/

/ħ ʕ/ may actually be /ʜ ʢ/, or allophones, or something. The article notes a reliance on older sources and mentions this uncertainty.

/p t k kʷ ʔ/
/ɸ s ɬ ʃ x xʷ χ χʷ/
/m n/
/j/
/l ɾ/ (only in loanwords)
/ɛ ɛː ɑ ɑː i iː o oː/

* /m/ is realized as [w̃] + nasalization of the following vowel after velar stops.
* Non-rounded vowels are realized as diphthongs [ɛo̯ ɑo̯ iu̯] before rounded consonants.
* Stress is contrastive. Stress normally falls on the first syllable of a root. The sample text only marks stress when it's not on the first syllable of the word.

Vowels in stressed open syllables are long, otherwise they are short. /a/ is pronounced as /ə/ at the end of a word.

Words are divided into 2-syllable morae, with an odd-numbered syllable creating a 3-syllable final mora. Stress falls on the first syllable of every mora, except in 3-syllable morae, where it can fall on the second syllable instead. Primary stress is on the final mora.
