Tapilula
The Tapilula languyage is much more guttural than its ancestor of 8000 years ago, but is almiost entirely CV, so does not necesarrily sound harsh or intidimating. e.g. /plam/ > /ḳà/. This is a matter of preference. The name Tapilula refers to the continent, as this was the language spoken by the first Laban settlers to reach the continent in over a thousand years.[1]
The mother of Tapilula was Mumba . This is the same word as the tribal name Hupa.
E'oqaaniam
pholongy:
/p b m f t d n l tʷ dʷ nʷ j k ḳ ŋ h g hʷ gʷ/
/a e i o u ə/
Note that there is no /s/, but there is a contrast between /f/ and /hʷ/. This leads to a change of /f/>/s/ in the Gold branch, but the Andanese branch simply merges the two labial fricatives and goes on without an /s/.

Notes
- ↑ I dont remember the internal history of this name. It has nothing to do with the town in Mexico, which I've only just now learned about.
