The current Tangent Constructed Chinese.
The retroflex stops and nasals of Middle Chinese merge with the alveolars in TCC.

I really like this system so far, but:

1) How do you treat syllables with glottal-stop [ ʔ ] initials? Do you write them in the same way as you would a null initial?

2) Why do you treat 'y' and 'w' as initials rather than as medials prefaced by null initials?

3) Can you specify the pitch levels and contours of the four tones, along with the reasoning behind your choices?

Keep up the good work.
