Proto-Phwaim is a fictional language by Polka Dot. Proto-Phwaim is the reconstructed ancestor of the Phim-Hwan languages, a family spoken for the most part in the central region of Ryusi. It is estimated to have been spoken around 10.000 HW.

PHONOLOGY

In the consonant system, palatalization, or palatal-laminal instead of apical articulation, was a phonemic feature.

Nasals / m n nʲ ŋ / < m n ń ŋ >
Stops / p pʰ b t tʰ d k kʰ g / < p ph b t th d k kh g >
Affricates / t͡sʲ t͡sʲʰ d͡zʲ t͡ʃ t͡ʃʰ d͡ʒ / < ć ćh ǵ č čh ǧ >
Fricatives / ɬ ɬʲ ɮ s sʲ z ʃ ʃʲ ʒ χ χʲ ʁ / < ṣ ṣ' ẓ s s' z š š' ž x x' ḥ >
Approximants / j w r rʲ l lʲ / <y v r r' l l' >
