User:Soap/EPSL

The Eastern Play substratum languages are to the east of the Play substratum languages, and so called for convenience, but Play speakers did not overrun their territory until much later.

It is also possible that PSL and EPSL will switch places on the map. Since even the original PSL was in eastern Play territory, the name EPSL could stay with this family, and the original PSL would take on a geographic name unrelated to its relation with Play.

Sound changes

1. final closed syllables become long
2. final high tones become long (it may be that closed syllables were always high, so this rule is moot)
3. possibly prenasals become nasals in some conditions
4. tʷ ndʷ nʷ > pʷ mbʷ mʷ.
5. o > ʷo (but spelled o).
6. g > Ø.
7. New vowel sequences become diphthongs, but probably not right away.
