Sound changes

Dialectally complete

  • le ne → ː / 'V_C in verb roots (oon tuun meen paan)
  • eA → eː
  • ie yø uo → iɛ yœ uɔ
  • n → ˣ / _#
  • d → ∅ / h_
  • enään (soundchange / analogy with tänään?)
  • -kO-ks

Dialectally underway

  • s → θ (except / k_, ŋ_?)
    • add: nθ tθ Cθt → θ θθ Ctt
  • æ → ɑ / unstressed
  • p k → b ɡ / V_V (tsygä, väbä etc.)
  • o → u / _i (muimui etc.)

Possingly beginning

  • ks → kʃ
  • ll → ʎ
  • ŭ → ʉ
  • k ɡ ʋ → s / 'Vr_e (except i_re)

Entirely new stuff

  • ĕ → ɛ / unstressed
  • æ → ɛ (would be about time)
  • y → ʉ, ju
  • iɛ yœ uɔ → jɛ uœ wɔ
  • j → ʃ / {p t k}_
  • kʃ → ʃ
  • ʋu → bʷ / _V (don't think this is even found in any other environment, but eh)
  • unstressed vowel length lost
  • Pː → ˣP (only required to deal with the next one neatly)
  • ˣ → ˥
  • h → ˩ / _C, → ∅ / V_V

To be decided

  • Do any of -t-, -d-, -r- merge?
  • Foot weight / position conditioning of medial voicing
  • Whether we'll have middle tone; if not, how do vowels before voiced sounds develop
  • How stress shifts
  • Initial palatalization
  • Getting /ts/ out of /s/
  • Stressed long vowels: to shorten or difthongize?
