Well, I'll need to put those notes down somewhere anyway… might as well put them here.
Sound changes
Dialectally complete
- le ne → ː / 'V_C in verb roots (oon tuun meen paan)
- eA → eː
- ie yø uo → iɛ yœ uɔ
- n → ˣ / _#
- d → ∅ / h_
- enään (soundchange / analogy with tänään?)
- -kO → -ks
Dialectally underway
- æ → ɑ / unstressed
- p k → b ɡ / V_V (tsygä, väbä etc.)
- o → u / _i (muimui etc.)
Possingly beginning
- ks → kʃ
- ll → ʎ
- ŭ → ʉ
- k ɡ ʋ → s / 'Vr_e (except i_re)
Entirely new stuff
- ĕ → ɛ / unstressed
- æ → ɛ (would be about time)
- y → ʉ, ju
- iɛ yœ uɔ → jɛ uœ wɔ
- j → ʃ / {p t k}_
- kʃ → ʃ
- ʋu → bʷ / _V (don't think this is even found in any other environment, but eh)
- unstressed vowel length lost
- Pː → ˣP (only required to deal with the next one neatly)
- ˣ → ˥
- h → ˩ / _C, → ∅ / V_V
To be decided
- Do any of -t-, -d-, -r- merge?
- Foot weight / position conditioning of medial voicing
- Whether we'll have middle tone; if not, how do vowels before voiced sounds develop
- How stress shifts
- Initial palatalization
- Getting /ts/ out of /s/
- Stressed long vowels: to shorten or difthongize?
