'''Tlu''' (χμῶ Τλὣ) is a [[Hlou-Shum languages|Hlou-Shum language]] inspired by Hmong, Greek, Vietnamese, Irish, and Mandarin. It's meant to be the Greek analogue to [[Hlou]]'s Germanic.

for proto-s-wiebic:
π πλ τ τλ τς ρ κ μπ μπλ ντ ντλ ντς νρ γκ /p pl t tɬ tɕ ʈʂ k b bl d dɮ dʑ ɖʐ g/
what about a GVS (əy > ii > ay > əə > aa > ee and əw > uu > au > oo) in open syllables and another vowel shift (ii ee ay əy)(uu oo aw əw) in closed syllables?
φ φλ θ θς σ χ μφ μφλ νθ νθς νσ γχ /pʰ pʰl tʰ tɕʰ ʈʂʰ kʰ bʰ bʰl dʰ dʑʰ ɖʐʰ gʰ/
iw > iə and uy > uə as i had before
ψ ξ νψ γξ ς /s ʂ z ʐ ç/
this is still pre-s-wiebic
λ /ɬ/
(inspired by your first draft of zoomic)
ϋ β δ μ ν νλ γ /f v ɣ m n nl ŋ/
consonant shift: actually, should i use grimm's law for this one and keep ejectives for myuftseezh?
χμ χν χνλ χγ = unvoiced versions of μ ν νλ γ
*nīmə "water" > naymə
ζ /j/
numbers:

sorry
==Vowels==
səyḱ'u > /si:c'u/
<poem>
kʷ'li > *kʷ'lī > /kʷ'laj/
α η υ ω /æ i o u/
sqā > /sqa:/ (vowel raising shifts blocked after uvulars)
ε ο = nasal vowels
māwi > /me:wi/
αο αοι αι οι υι /i/
payku > /pə:ku/
ι ει /æi/
hə̄ƛix̌ > /ha:tɬiχ/
αυ ου /ɑu/
c̣ʼəthə̄ > /tʂətta:/
ηα ωα /ie uo/
pʼaŋud > /p'aŋud/
ḱ'awń > /c'o:n/
xʷqāx̌ṭʼī > xʷqā̌qṭʼī >  xʷqāqṭʼī  > /xʷqa:qtaj/  
kʷʼə̄cʼiw > /kʷ'a:ts'iə/
cʼiw > /ts'iə/
I'll have to do something with laryngeals - but what
maybe they become breathy voice which makes breathy voiced plosives
ha:tɬiχ > ha:tɬə̤ > ha:dɮʰə
(the vowel shift should depend on the laryngeal)
 
i love the breathy voice idea
btw I should have more clusters in PM since Dry Icelandic (geminates), Myuftseezh (big clusters) and S-Cuatham (clicks) rely on them
