i still do feel like hoyo fumbled a bit with sumeru... even if yes, they DO their research on cultures to some extent i dont know how smart was it to combine so many middle eastern influences into one nation when the others had a set image to all of them. i was soo excited that we were gonna get some turkish representation too since that barely happens -in a media i like no less- and all we got were some npc names. and a few dishes lmao

yeah i think it came out messy in the end. fontaine is in a bit of a weird place also in my opinion since it doesn't just represent france either, i have noticed a lot of general european influences, some irish/scottish/english especially and so on. but the sumeru case is still upsetting to me too, ever since it came out. it was coincidentally around the time i took my break. i would have loved to see it more refined and more thought put into different parts of the region maybe focusing on representing specific cultures (yknow kinda like a real life region!) rather than mix it all up. i think the same for fontaine as well although it would work just as well if it was only france

ok vowel harmony showcase! really couldn't wait. so rath (/raθ/) has a very symmetrical vowel inventory:

/a/ is transparent and doesn't contribute to the vowel harmony at all. the other vowels exist on three axes: front - back, high - low, flat - round. all vowels in a word must agree in at least one of these axes! so, for example, the vowels /i/ and /o/ could never exist in the same word as they're polar opposites.

the root word never changes, it's the affixes that shift. the order of importance is backness, then height, then roundedness. every vowel has three counterparts it can shift to depending on what is necessary. for example, /i/ can harmonize to /y/ if it must become round, /e/, if it must lower or /ɯ/ if it must back.

so if we have the root word "sik" that receives a "-om" suffix, the /o/ is harmonized into its front counterpart /ø/, and the correctly suffixed word is "siköm".

some more complicated examples: all vowels in the word "sikütu" are high, but don't all agree on frontness or roundedness, so whichever affix it receives must become high as well. here, "-om" would become "-um". in the word "künö", both vowels are both front and round, but since frontness is higher on the harmony hierarchy, the suffix "-tū" becomes "-ti". however, if we also add a back vowel and get the word "künöso", roundedness becomes the only axis of agreement and so the suffix must shift to "-tu".
