View source for Phonological and Morphological Changes from Proto-Rajo-Faraneit to Hana

==Phonological Changes: circa 250 - circa 400==
*Faraneit Substratum
**Vowel Shift *ɛ > *æ > ɑ
**Vowel Shift *ɒ > ə > X
**Phonemic Stress > Initial (actually more extreme than Faraneit)
*Independent Development
**ˈu > y (prior to stress shift)
**No Epenthesis following deletion of *ɒ (unlike Faraneit)
**Resultant /mb) nd) ŋg) ɴɢ)/ initially phonemic (possibly Mbathu substrata)
**/tθ) θ ts) s/ voice between vowels or voiced consonants
**pf) bv) f v > pɸ) bβ) ɸ β
**tθ) dð) θ ð > pf) bv) f v
**ɭ ɻ > ɺ finally

==Phonological Changes: circa 400 - circa 550==
*Various Mbathu substrata
**pɸ) bβ) pf) bv) ts) dz) > pʰ bʰ pʰ bʰ tʰ dʰ
**k q + fricative > kʰ qʰ
*Independent Development
**f > ɸ > h, v > β > h
**ts) dz) + i e > tʃ) dʒ) (vowel only incorporated when followed by another vowel)
**kʰ > kx) > tʃ)
**qʰ > kʰ
**ɭ ɻ + voiced fricative, + voiceless fricative > ʃ, ʒ
**fricative + ɺ > ʃ
**ɭ ɻ > l r (where remaining)
**ɑ æ > a

==Phonological Changes: circa 550 - 732==
*Torsion, assimilation, and epenthetic a produce phonotactics 
**Onsets - any consonant, corresponding fricative + plosive, corresponding fricative + nasal/approximant, corresponding plosive + nasal/approximant
**Epenthetic t between VVV+ clusters
**Codas - any consonant, corresponding fricative + plosive, corresponding nasal/approximant + fricative or plosive)
*Otherwise
**Where affixation has produced medial mp) nd) ŋg) ɴɢ), they become m n ŋ ɴ
**Transfer from retroflexive approximants to post-alveolar is hypercorrected, along with other post-alveolar consonants
**tʂ) dʐ) > ʈ ɖ
**dʰ bʰ kʰ > z v x
**Nasal + a + Consonant > Nasal (at the consonants POA) when unaccented syllable
**q > k', ɴɢ) > ŋɠ), ɴ > ŋ'
**Fricative + l, l + fricative > ɬ
