The Lâura language is a branch of Khulls spoken in Poswob territory that takes its name from discarded words meaning lemonade. It is part of a series of fruit-flavored languages that also includes Apple Pie, Mandarin Orange, Raspberry Wine, and Strawberry Icecream.
Pre-Proto-Moonshine (3958) to Sister Tadpole (~5200)
Rounded bilabials: pʷ mʷ hʷ w Plain bilabials: p m kp ḳṗ Alveolars: t ṭ n s l r Palataloids: č ň š ž y ǯ Velars: k ḳ ŋ x g Labiovelars: kʷ ḳʷ ŋʷ xʷ gʷ Postvelars: q h
- The bilabial nasal m shifted to mʷ.
- The alveolars t ṭ n r shifted to pʷ ṗʷ mʷ m unconditionally. The fricative s shifted to sʷ.
- The laterals l λ merged as l.
- The fricatives hʷ ʕʷ shifted to f w.
- The syllabic consonants ḷ ṁ ṅ ŋ̇ ṡ shifted to u um un uŋ usʷ. Note that /n/ survived.
- The postalveolars č ň š ž ǯ shifted to c n s z ʒ, though they remained as postalveolars allophonically before or after any front vowel.
- The velars k ḳ ŋ x g shifted to t t n s y. Then h also became ś.
- The labiovelars kʷ ḳʷ ŋʷ xʷ gʷ shifted to k k ŋ h g.
- The labial-velar coarticulated stops kp ḳṗ shifted to pʷ ṗʷ.
At this stage the language might have come to be influenced by Cosmopolitan Play languages. It is possible that the ejectives could become geminates, and that high tones would also produce geminates.
