Im really just looking to change the words slightly. Not so much they're
drastically different. For instance, i dont want to include such changes
as /g/ > /G/

Even in my Grandfathers language (Aklanon) the changes arent too drastic.
I'm not too sure about how certain sounds are pronounced but heres an
example of some of the changes:

Salamat - Saeamat=20
Aklanon - Akeanon
talong - taeong

Aklanon  Tagalog
Isaea -      isa
daywa -   dalawa
tatlo -        tatlo
apat -        apat
lima -         lima
an-om -     anim
pito -         pito
waeo -     walo
siyam -     siyam
napoeo -   sampu

As you can see, L becomes E (most of the time)

The change there isn't too drastic. The reason i included those examples
is to show that even with two different languages (Related none the less)
the changes are not very drastic :).  The words are recognizeable as bein=
g
related to eachother (Even though Akeanon is a Visayan language, and
Tagalog is a Luzon language). Incidentally, the changes aren't too even i=
n
Aklanon. It's said that Akeanon came about because a Datu (chief) had a
speech impediment, so everyone he ruled imitated his speech.

So, with that in mind i think i will go with:

p - b
t - d
k - g
y - h except in diphthongs: ay, oy  (a reminder so i don't change the
sound into something different!)

Assimilation:

pb/bp - b
td/dt - d
kg/gk - g

Simple, and enough of a change to make it different from Tagalog.=20
