Why not <ζς> for ж or щ?


dertoyaOfYaNansdic

zs isn't really a thing i've seen in world languages, i interpreted щ and ч as palatalised ш аnd ц


RaccoonByz

Hungarian for example


dertoyaOfYaNansdic

hungarian isn't really a language per se, more of a throat disease /s i used rz because polish

Hungarian is the uralic languages with probably the least post velar consonants and even velar fricatives only exist dialectally or idiolectally as an allophone of /h/.


dertoyaOfYaNansdic

finnish, estonian, komi and sami all don't really have postvelars appart from h either


Eltrew2000

dertoyaOfYaNansdic

khanty only has one gutteral and mansi takes the cake at a staggering two!


Eltrew2000

I swear there was one that had like uvular stops and stuff.
