Proto-Alhianic: Difference between revisions

Line 11:

* a fricative series whose consonants correspond equally to the stops

* a nasal series, including l, which is not nasal but corresponds to the alveolar nasal

* 3 approximants, including the rhotic r, which is of uncertain quality but was most likely an alveolar tap

* 3 approximants, including the rhotic r, which is of uncertain quality but was most likely an alveolar tap due to its nature in all Alhianic descendants

* an 8-vowel system that was split among front-back harmony (neutral vowels: i, e; front vowels: ü, ö, ä; back vowels: u, o, a)

* a CV(C) syllable structure
