| ==Sound changes==
| |
| <poem>
| |
| Sound changes from Ancient Varquun to Modern Varquun:
| |
| Initial (h)Vy, (h)Vw- > j, w-
| |
| More /h/ loss: Vh > V:
| |
| Vowel system changes: /i u a i: u: a: e: o: aj aw/ > /e u ə i ɨ a iə uə ɚ o/
| |
| A tone split based on pharyngealization: CˁV > CV(creaky) > CV(high) (hV > V(low), initial V- > V(high))
| |
| Postvocalic tʃ, dʒ lenite to ʃ, ʒ; postvocalic ʃ, ʒ lenite to -j
| |
| word-final pharyngealized consonants merge with the nonpharyngealized consonants; i and ɨ become lowered to e and o before historical ll
| |
| 1. adj > àʒ
| |
| 2. fisj > fèj
| |
| 3. iyav > íjə̀v
| |
| 4. ŋŋuzzan > ŋúzə́n
| |
| 5. túl > tɨ̀l
| |
| 6. kkayr > kɚ́r
| |
| 7. bbutja > búʃə̀
| |
| 8. llíva > wívə̀
| |
| 9. ulltta > ótə̀
| |
| X. yáŋŋu > jàŋú
| |
| E. hanay > ə̀nɚ̀
| |
| 10. kín > kìn

| This is a short reminder of the language format policy.
| |
|
| |
| I. Write a short piece stating your intents and purposes when creating the language (Design goal, inspiration, ideas, and so on).
| |
| II. Write a short introduction to your language. (Who speaks it? When was it created? By whom? or what? are some example questions that can be answered here)
| |
| III. Once done, try making sure everything is properly spelt so as to avoid unnecessary reader fatigue.
