Here you can find a bunch of my ideas for creating, mutating and otherwise modifying languages.

A script style designed with diacritics as first-class citizens (NewEng)

A better font-script style

to accommodate lots of diacritics
to make them part of the script rather than looking like uncomfortable addons.

This idea stems from NewEng and Devanagari.

It can be useful for NewEng and Vietnamese. The modern Vietnamese script is around 400 years old already, but the stacking of all the diacritics still looks a bit uncomfortable.

Update:

I recently learned the Burmese script. It is actually a perfect example of the concept I've outlined here! Every diacritic takes up a large vertical and horizontal space, and is structured akin to a letter rather than a small mark that's trying to hide.

Sonorant-only phonology

most links take you to wikipedia articles

Sonorants are one of two primary superclasses of sounds produced in speech.

The other is Obstruents — plosives (p, b, t, d, k, g, etc), fricatives (f, v, θ, ð, s, z, ʃ, ʒ, etc), taps & flaps (), and others.

Sonorants include:

Class

common examples

IPA

V — Vowels

i, e, a, o, u, ʌ

i, ɪ, y, e, ə, ɜ, ɛ, æ, a, ɑ, ɒ, ʌ, ɔ, o, ʊ, ɵ, u

N — Nasals

m, n, ñ, ŋ

m, n, ɲ, ɳ, ŋ

Y — Semi-vowels — liquids, approximants, glides

w, y, l, r

w, β̞, ʋ, ð̞, l, ɫ, ɹ, j, ʎ, ɰ

As you can see, there are a lot of available phones to choose from! And this is not an exhaustive list. So by no means would it be a challenging language to create.

It would most likely feature a lot of diphthongs, and probably some pronunciation—grammar morphology by which certain sounds are metastasised in order to produce word mutations, due to the smaller range of available consonants.
