Classification

History

Development

  • /x/ > /h/
  • /r/ > /ɹ~ɻ/
  • /ɣ/ > /j, w, g/ depending on environment.
  • /VjV/ > /V:/
  • unstressed /i, u, ɑ/ > /ə/, leaving /ʲ, ʷ/ on following consonant, with the last turning consonants retroflex
    • this palatal/labialization often affects the vowel and is then dropped
  • /ə/ lost where new clusters are easy
  • diphthongs simplify
  • coda nasals to nasalization where possible
  • word final /s/ > /h/
  • word final /Vh{ʲ,ʷ}/ > /V{ʲ,ʷ}/
  • /wu/ > /u/
  • nasal vowels break to /AV/, thus /ɛN/ > /jɛ/
  • overlong vowels to plain long
  • /w, v/ > /ʋ/, /hw/ > /ʋ̥/
  • /{rt,tr,rc,cr}, {rd,dr,rɟ,ɟr}, {rn,nr,rm,mr}, {rs,sr,rʃ,ʃr}, {rz,zr,rʒ,ʒr}/ > /ʈ, ɖ, ɳ, ʂ, ʐ/, /rk, kr/ > /ʈ/ in some areas
