Proto-Razaric is the reconstructed common ancestor of the Razaric languages. It is estimated to have been spoken around 4000 BC.

Phonology

Consonants

  Labial Alveolar Palatal Velar Pharyngeal
Sibilant Flat Lateral
Nasals *m *n   *ng  
Voiceless stops *p *t   *k  
Voiced stops *b *d   *g  
Voiceless affricates   *ts *tr *tl      
Voiced affricates   *dz *dr *dl      
Voiceles continuants   *s *rh *lh      
Voiced continuants *w *z *r *l *j   *3

Vowels

  Front Central Back
High *i   *u
Mid *e   *o
Low   *a  

Syllable structure

The maximal syllable structure is CVC. Affricates may not occur in codas, but all consonants may occur in onsets.

Accent

The accent falls on the first syllable of the word.

Sound correspondences

The sound correspondences between Proto-Tommian and Proto-Razaric are quite simple.

  • Aspirated stops have merged with their unaspirated counterparts.
  • The front sibilants are preserved; mid sibilants become rhotics; back sibilants become laterals.
  • PT *h becomes PR *3.
  • The nasals, liquids and semivowels are unchanged, but post-consonantal *w disappears with changing the following vowels *a and *e into *o and *i into *u.
