| | The '''Taba''' /tʰa˨pa˦/ language is a heavily tonal language of Kjàt Må̀. It evolved from a monosyllabic tonal language with more complex syllables by simplifying its phonemic inventory and phonotactics but not its tones. |

| |
| <poem>
| |
| actually just gonna go ahead and say p p' b > f p b (grimm's law with glottalic pie)
| |
| actually p p' b > ph /pʰ/ p b
| |
| that's proto-pfiunic
| |
| actually should pʰ > f?
| |
| that's still elvish
| |
| f p b
| |
| PQuame:
| |
| m n
| |
| p t k kʷ q qʷ ʔ
| |
| b d g gʷ ɢ ɢʷ
| |
| pʼ tʼ kʼ kʷʼ qʼ qʷʼ
| |
| s ł h
| |
| z λ
| |
| c ƛ
| |
| cʼ ƛʼ
| |
| y w
| |
| r l
| |
| But first uvulars disappear:
| |
| actually no
| |
| uvulars don't vanish
| |
| 10 will be kior
| |
| in AW
| |
| uvulars merge with velars
| |
| m n
| |
| p t k kʷ ʔ
| |
| b d g gʷ
| |
| pʼ tʼ kʼ kʷʼ
| |
| s ł h
| |
| z λ
| |
| c ƛ
| |
| cʼ ƛʼ
| |
| y w
| |
| r l
| |
| be- will be cognate to ui- in Naquian and bi- in Themsarian
| |
| does that make Themsarian too Germanic?
| |
| bi- will be an applicative in Themsarian
| |
| then, Grimm's law
| |
| m n
| |
| f þ x xʷ ʔ
| |
| b d g gʷ
| |
| p t k kʷ
| |
| s ł h
| |
| z λ
| |
| c ƛ
| |
| y w
| |
| r l
| |
| Laterals turn into click-type sounds
| |
| m n
| |
| f þ x xʷ ʔ
| |
| b d g gʷ
| |
| p t k kʷ
| |
| s ɧ h
| |
| z đ
| |
| c ŧ
| |
| j w
| |
| r l
| |
| what to do with s z c?
| |
| s > h (like in Talsmic)?
| |
| c > s
| |
| uhh
| |
| actually h should disappear first
| |
| c merges to s
| |
| so should the glottal stop
| |
| causing vowel lenthening
| |
| should i have tones in PPfiun?
| |
| pre-pfiun
| |
| they will trigger verner's law
| |
| So I have
| |
| m n
| |
| b d đ g gʷ
| |
| p t ŧ k kʷ
| |
| f þ ɧ x xʷ
| |
| s z
| |
