A more conservativ subfamily of East Altaic', spoken in NW Himalayas.

Some sound changes from Proto-East Altaic':

  • ʈ → q
  • ɪ ʊ → ə → ʌ
  • ɜ → ∅ (generally)
  • æ → e, je, ɑ varyingly
  • i u → e o / _q(ʷ)
  • loss of labialized uvulars (merging into labiovelars or plain uvulars)
  • prenasalization drops
  • ɢ → ʁ → ∅, h
  • β → v
  • labialized velars → labial-velars
  • fricativ voicing intervocally
  • ʂ ʐ → x r

A typical phoneme system is (phonemes only occuring in few languages in parentheses):

Labial Dental /
alveolar
Post-
alveolar
Velar Labial-
velar
Uvular /
glottal
Voiceless stops p t ʧ k kp q
Voiced stops b d ʤ ɡ ɡb
Voiceless fricativs (f) s ʃ x h
Voiced fricativs v z ʒ (ɣ)
Nasals m n ŋ ŋm
Approximants l r       j w
Front Lax Back
Hi i (ɪ ~ ɨ) u
Mid e ʌ o
