Future Moonshine is a term for the post-classical dialects of Moonshine that began to arise after 6843 AD. Though Moonshine had been the most rapidly changing branch of its family for its first 3,000 years, the centralized school system slowed down the rate of change as it spread the Cartwheel dialect throughout the empire, and nearly all citizens attended school.
Classical phonology
Consonants
Sound changes had already begun to slow in the centuries leading up to Classical Moonshine because the grammar had become tied to consonant and vowel gradations in ways that discouraged change. For example, one word might alternate its final consonants between /d~t~z~s/,[1] discouraging merging of those sounds. The classical consonant inventory was
Bilabials: p b m ḟ w Labiodentals: ṗ ḅ ṃ f v Dentals: ṭ ḍ ṇ ṣ ẓ ḷ Alveolars: t d n s z l ř c ʒ Postalveolars: ň š ž č ǯ Palatals: ś y Velars: k ġ ŋ h g r
