I just made a set of sound changes for yet another new project that I'd like
opinions on. I don't think I have the correct form, but I hope it will be clear.
Especially wrt distinguishing C = consonant from C = [C].
Original Consonants
[p] [t] [k] [q]
[b] [d] [g]
[p_h] [t_h] [k_h] [q_h]
[m] [n]
[s]
[l]
[r]
Original Vowels
[i] [e] [a] [o] [u]
The following sound changes are in historical order.
1. i, u > j, w / __ V
i, u > j, w / V __
2. kw, gw, k_hw > k_w, g_w, k_w_h
3. V > Vj / __ Cj
V > Vw / __ C_w
i, e, o, u > ie, ea, oa, uo / __ q, __ q_h, __ r
4. kj, gj, k_hj > c, J\, c_h
k, g, k_h > c, J\, c_h / __ i, __ e
5. ij, ej, aj, oj, uj > i, e, æ, ø, y
iw, ew, aw, ow, uw > ju, jo, Au, o, u
ie, ea, oa, uo > je, æ, wA, o
a > A
6. s > z / V __ V
7. tj, dj > ts), dz)
sj, zj > S, Z
8. z > r
9. ts), dz) > s, z
p_h, t_h, c_h, k_h, k_w_h, q_h > P, T, C, x, x_w, X
10. P, T > f, h
c, J\, C > tS), dZ), S
11. hj, hw > C, x_w
lj, lw > j, w
rj, rw > :j, :w
12. ø, y > e, i
13. q, X > k, x / __ j, __ i, __ e
14. n > N / __ k, __ g, __ k_w
q > ?
15. i, u > 0 / VC __ CV --- but not always
i, u > 0 / VC __ #
16. u, o, A, æ, e > 1, u, O, a, E
Au > au
17. i, E, a, O, u, 1 > e, e, e, o, o, o / __ #
18. ? > 0 / __ #
?p, ?t, ?k, ?f, ?s, ?S, ?x, ?X > pp, tt, kk, ff, ss, SS, xx, XX
? == : / __ voiced consonant
Resulting Consonants
p [p] t [t] tc [tS)] k(j) [k_j] k [k] kw [k_w]
b [b] d [d] dz [dZ)] g(j) [g_j] g [g] gw [g_w]
f [f] s [s] c [S] hj [C] x [x] xw [x_w] q [X] h [h]
z [Z]
m [m] n [n] nj [J] n [N]
l [l] j [j] w [w]
r [r]
Resulting Vowels
i [i] y [1] u [u]
e [e] o [o]
a [a]
