[WIP] Added some villages to the Phoenix Islands

[Pananacakes]

I've filled in most of the Islands' lowland villages. Elves dominate culturally so the names are in my version of an Elvish language. I've supplied a pronunciation guide for anyone language-geeky enough to want to say the names.

The first view is at 100% zoom and the second is zoomed out a bit to show where more of the villages lie.







How To Pronounce Phoenix Isles Elvish:

All letters, including vowels, are pronounced. There are no dipthongs (groups of two or more vowels together said as a single syllable).

The sounds the letters make:
Æ or æ = The vowel sound in "cat"
È or è = The vowel sound "shed"
É or é = The vowel sound in "straight"
Ì or ì = The vowel sound in "it"
Í or í = The vowel sound in "feet"
Ð or ð = The first consonant sound in "that"
Ù or ù = The vowel sound in "put"
Ú or ú = The vowel sound in "soup"
Û or û = The vowel sound in "up"
Þ or þ = The first consonant sound in "thing"
Ī or ī = The vowel sound in "ice"
Ō or ō and Ó or ó = The vowel sound in "nose"
Ƕ or ƕ = The sound of a combined 'hw', as in Old English "hwæt," or exaggerated stage-speak "what" and "where"
Ƣ or ƣ = The vowel sound in "coin"
Ȣ or ȣ = The vowel sound in "saw"
Ɠ or ɠ = Like the final consonant sound in Scottish "loch," but with a hard 'g' sound in place of the 'c' sound. Same as Arabic 'غ'.
ɧ or ɧ = The sound of a combined 'h-y.' As in, put an 'h' in front of the word "yes" and try to say it like "hyes."
Ʃ or ʃ = The first consonant sound in "shell"
Ʒ or ʒ = The first consonant sounds in "Zsa Zsa Gabor" and "beige."
ʦ or ʦ = The sound of a combined 'ts.' The first and second consonant sound in "tsetse fly."
ʧ or ʧ = The first consonant sound in "chomp"
ˀ or ˀ = A glottal stop. The sound in "uh-oh" besides the 'u' and 'o.'
Χ or χ = The final consonant sound in Scottish "loch."
Q or q = A 'k' sound but formed back in the throat, a little further back even than hard 'g.' Same as Arabic 'ق'.
ᶇ or ᶇ = The sound of a combined 'n-y.' As in the taunt "nya-nya!" or the sound of Spanish 'ñ.'
A or a = The first vowel sound in "father."
B or b = Regular English 'b.'
C or c = Always like the 'c' in "cat," never like 's' as in the first 'c' in "circus."
D or d = Regular English 'd.'
F or f = Regular English 'f.'
G or g = Always hard like the 'g' in "golf," never like 'j' as in "George."
H or h = Regular English 'h.'
J or j = Regular English 'j.'
L or l = Regular English 'l.'
M or m = Regular English 'm.'
N or n = Regular English 'n.'
O or o = The vowel sound in "top."
P or p = Regular English 'p.'
R or r = Regular English 'r.'
S or s = Regular English 's.'
T or t = Regular English 't.'
V or v = Regular English 'v.'
Y or y = Regular consonantal English 'y,' like the first consonant sound in "yellow."
Ẏ or ẏ = Same as the normal 'y' above. The dot only indicates the occurrance of a lexical rule.

Thanks Voolf. It's going to take a while. It's really big. I might not be able to post it here, not the whole map zoomed in 100%, but I hope to get it online somehow.

You dont have to upload original size. When you finish shrink it down to the size like the secon picture above. It already looks amazing.
