Vulgar Latin sound changes
Latin to Vulgar Latin (Pre-Romance) ? -150 C.E.
| Latin | Condition | Result | Example(s) |
|---|---|---|---|
| m | word-finally | disappears | CAELUM > *kaelu > czál |
| y̆, ȳ | everywhere | ĭ, ī | CYGNUS > *kignus > czenj |
| ae | word-finally | ǣ | ROSAE > *rosǣ > roze |
| elsewhere | ĕ [ɛ] | CAELUM > *kelu > czál | |
| oe | ē | FOEDUM > *fēdu > véd | |
| au | ō | CAUSA > *kōsa > kuza | |
| eu | jū | ||
| ui | ū | ||
| ĭ,ĕ | before another vowel | j | SPATIUM > *spatju > spóc LĪNEA > līnja > linja |
| ŭ | before another vowel | w | VIDUA > *vidwa > vedva |
| h | disappears | HODIĒ > odjē > oj COLAPHUM > *kolapu > klóp CATHEDRA > *katedra > kotjedra MĀCHINA > *mākina > máczna | |
| ns | s | ĪNSULA > *īsula > ízla | |
| nct, mpt | nt | SANCTUM > *sàntu-eu > sútý PRŌMPTUM > *prōntu > prútý | |
| nj, cn, gn, mnj | ň [ɲ] | LĪNEA > *līňa > linja CYGNUM > *kiňu > czenj SOMNIUM > *soňu > sonj | |
| mĭn | between vowels | mn | DOMINUM > *domnu > dún |
| per- | word initially | par- | PERAMBULĀRE > *parambulāre > porúblár PERDERE > *pàrdere > pradír PERSŌNA > *parsōna > prasuna |
| b | between vowels | v [β] | LĂBŌRĀRE > *lavōrare > lóvrár |
| s | between vowels | z | ĪNSULA > *īzula > ízla CAUSA > *kōza > kuza |
| sp, st, sc [sk] | word initial | ĭsp, ĭst, ĭsk | SPŌNSA > *ispōza > spuza STUDIUM > *istudju > stuj SCHOLA > *iskola > skola |
- It is possible that the Greek y sound was adopted as i by Vulgar Latin from the beginning.
- Note that h was lost everywhere, also in the Greek aspirates ph, th, ch. It is especially noteworthy that ph became p, not f in the kind of Vulgar Latin that led to Slevan.

| closed stressed, or an unstressed, syllable | o [ɔ] | CAPRA > *kopra > kopra PĀGĀNU > *poganŭ > pohán ĂRĀNEA > *oraňa > oranja | |
| ē, ĭ | stressed syllable | e | TĒLA > *tela > tela SĬTE > *setĭ > sétj |
