These are ordered roughly west-to-east.

Cappini languages

Proto-Cappini was identical with Baywatch, but was grouped with the others for political reasons.

CONSONANTS:

Bilabials:       p   m           b   
Alveolars:       t   n   s   l   r     

And the vowels were /a e i o u/ in both short and long forms. The geminates /pp ss tt/ occurred, and there were sound gaps of */te so bo lo ro/, except in a few rare words where contraction of long vowels before geminates had created new short vowels there.


Cappini to Poise

This was the language spoken in Poise.

  1. The alveolars t n shifted to k ŋ before any of /o u/.
  2. Any singleton s disappeared to Ø.
  3. The geminates pp ss tt kk shifted to p s t k.

Cappini to Wineapple

This was the language spoken in Olansele.


  1. The alveolars t n shifted to k ŋ before any of /o u/.

Other languages

The states of Ládara, Etatăni, Halaspa, Pumpkin, and Pointer did not have their own languages.

Para-Birch languages

Bilabials:        p   m   f   w           
Alveolars:        t   n   s   l   
Postalveolars:            š   y                                  
Velars:           k   ŋ   h   g   

There were four vowels, and the diphthongs /ai əi au əu/. The tone system was à/ă/ā and the schwa only occurred on the low tone.
