diachrony

As I have developed the history of my culture, I have
started to see just how static Elenyo is - and more to
the point, how difficult it would be to create
languages related to itat different stages
realistically.
I need some help with the dachrony therefore - how do
imake realistic changes, except for, for example,
changing letters that exist in the protolang but not
in the later lang. Just deciding that p > b wouldn't
make sense as both letters exist in both the proto-
and later lang.
Also, if I start with the protolang, how do I ensure
that the later lang will have the texture and beauty I
want it to have?
Hope someone here can help...
James
