The branch further divides into the Bustaxoid and Tsonboid languages.
Changes from Proto-Persian':
- high vowels
- ɪ ʊ ɪː ʊː → i u əj əw
- ɪw ɪj ʊj → iw iː uj
- loss of difthongs in _w
- k → kʷ / w_C
- iw → yː
- ew → e₂ː
- æw → æː
- ow → uː
- əw → o₁ː
- stop phonation/MOA changes
- intervocalic lenition
- b d → β ð
- intervocalic voicing
- p t k q → b d g ɢ
- loss of aspiration
- ʰp ʰt ʰk(ʷ) ʰq → p t k(ʷ) q
- pʰ tʰ kʰ qʰ → ɸ θ x χ
- stop clusters with a 2nd voiced member become voiced thruout
- intervocalic lenition
- lo vowels
- æ ɐ æː ɒː → a ə aː o₂ː
Two distinct types of /eː oː/ are reconstructed for PWP'. Most likely these are /eː oː/ and /ɛː ɔː/, but it remains unclear which are which. An alternate theory proposes /øː ɤː/ insted but with little additional clarification.
No evidence exists of labialized uvulars.
