Maybe even South Africa? Hmm.

  1. Holes: dɮ kʰ → ɮ x
  2. General lenition: b d ɡ → β ð ɣ / V_V etc.
  3. Palatals: velar → palatal / i
  4. j → ʒ̞
  5. Shibilant merger: ʃ ç → ɕ (um, this is kinda lame; add conditions?)
  6. Postalveolar → retroflex
  7. ʝ ɣ → j ɻ w varyingly
  8. t(ʰ) → θ / O
  9. s (ɬ?) z → θ ð / L
