Palatalization of the Proto-Altaic' velars and some successiv reorganization of the vowel system introduced a new, palatoalveolar series, separate from retroflex. Smaller changes include b → β and development of ŋ ŋʷ.
The stops were very likely allophonically voiced when prenasal, as they developed to voiced stops in daughterlangs almost universally.
