  • Stressed short vowels in open syllables lengthen, with the last of the heavIest syllables in a word then gaining stress; pretonic unstressed vowels reduce in open syllables;
  • The second of two concurrent long vowels shortens and reduces to a semivowel;
  • Voiceless stops before nasals assimilate [p k] > [m ŋ]; initial [gn] > [ŋː]
  • The sequence [owɘ] contracts to [ou]; followed by [ou] > [oː];
  • The Greek Alphabet is used to write the language, and a modern Romanisation is also given:

  • Presuming /s/ descended from /t/ to be [s̪], and inherited /s/ to be [s̺], [s̺ s̺k] > [ʃ]; a few surviving instances of [ti] > [si], completing the shift;
  • [ɘ] is lost in certain pretonic senses, otherwise [ɘ ɪ] > [i];
  • [eːw oi] > [yː y]; completion of loss of coda nasals after oral vowles shifting to nasal vowels;
  • Some confusion of vowels in the orthography, which also changes to reflect the loss of certain sounds;

1. All nasal vowels denasalize and turn into two vowel sequence
2. k>h, ɣ>ʒ
3. p>ɸ
4.loss of ablative and accusative replaced by nominative
5.loss of vowel length
6.loss of passive replaced by a construction of an active voice + to be (literally "they born-they are")
7. loss of plural markings plural indicated with a click consonant. Introduction of a genitive particle [iʃ]
[oun iʃ !ʒmon̪ in d̪eu't̪as̪ hʷi !joz !lo'der hʷi !ɸar 'gaʃout sout]

Is it fine guys?

Are we ending with ATL French? One word evolved very similar to French (action, aksin)

  • Dialectal interference restores the terminal [iʃ], now regularised, as the plural marker; dialects with clicks run extinct;
  • Epinthesis of [i] to break up certain consonant clusters;
  • Short vowels in stressed open syllables lengthen;
  • [j] and intervocalic [ʃ] > [ʒ], except where [j] is an excrescence of another vowel; intervocalic [s̪] > [z̪]
  • [eu ou iu] > [øː uː yː]; [ija] > [ije] > [iː]
  • [hʷ ɸ] merge to [ɸʷ], loss of [h] elsewhere
  • Some alterations to the orthography in the midst of these changes, making the new pronunciation at least partly reflected;
['uː.niʃ ʒi'moː.n̪iʃ in d̪øː't̪aːs̪ ɸʷi ʒoz lo'deː.riʃ ɸʷi 'ɸʷaː.riʃ 'gaː.ʒuːt suːt | ras̪i'jon̪ ɸʷi uːʒijøː'z̪iː d̪i'n̪aːz̪iʃ suːt | ɸʷys 'øː.z̪ir ʃi yː.wor'diː is'sid ak'sin iʃt]

  • Fortition of [ə] to [i] terminally, and [ɛ] elsewhere;
  • Chain shift of [y ø œ e ɔ o] > [ɥi øy jɛ jø we wo], however most function words are unaffected; the change sometimes fails to occur in pretonic open syllables; the morpheme; a dialect form becomes prevalent, merging the past participle -é(e) with -ie instead; the above shift causes some instances of initial [o] to shift to [wo], causing them to be perceived as consonant-initial, and separating the definite article from them;
  • Nasal vowels denasalise; in monosyllables, they frequently eject a nasal into the coda, but elsewhere, the nasalisalisation is lost without trace; a following nasal consnant blocks this shift;
  • The vowels [æ e æ o] merge with [ɛ i ø wo], except that [je we] merge with [jɛ wɛ];
  • The use of the simple past disappears entirely, even from the literary language;
  • The Académie authorises a spelling reform replacing e with i where schwa has been fortified, but now é is a common spelling of [i] (though popularly, i or y is preferred); diphthongisation of [ɔ] > [wɛ] is represented graphically as oe, but [wo] is represented usually as au, eau, ô, with some in favour of adding w, but the Académie being still resistant; shifted nasal vowels are also represented graphically; [øy], which does not appear in this sample, is represented êu;
  • Bowing to public pressure, it does allow the third-person plural verbal forms to be written identically to the singulars;
[li vɔn dy nwɛʁ i li swɛ.lɛj si dis.pɥi.tɛ kɛl i.tɛ li plɥi fwoʁ lwoʁs.kɛn vwa.ja.ʒjøʁ a.ʁi.vɛ | ɔ.vɛ.lwɛ.pi dɔnz‿ɛn mɔ.two ʃwo. il zon di.si.di ki sɛ.lɥi ki ʁi.ɥi.sɛ li pʁɛ.mjɛ a fɛʁ ɔ.lɛ.vjɛ swon mɔ.two wo vwa.ja.ʒjøʁ dɛ.vɛ ɛ.tʁ̩ kwo.si.djɛ.ʁi kɔm plɥi fwɛʁ ki li wo.tʁ̩]

Popular Orthography: Li vont du noerd i li soeleil si dispuitait quel itait li pluis foert lworsqu'en voyagieur arrivait, enveloeppi dons en motweau chweaud. Ils ont dicidi qui celui qui rihuissait li premier a faire olevier swon montweau wau voyagieur devait être kwosidoeri comme pluis foert qui li wautre.

(There are multiple variants on the popular orthography, which is mostly used informally. Some still write using a more conservative style, but a spirit of newness and innovation has caused this to come off as rather stodgy.)

I find your changes unusually implausible. I don’t believe the Académie has ever bowed to popular pressure.

(Also, I think you missed a [/bk] in your first line.)
  1. In coda: sC s# ʁ l → Cː ∅ ∅ n, unless it can be resyllabified
  2. Coda nasals assimilate in PoA to next consonant, or → [ŋ] if followed by a vowel; then further resyllabification
  3. jɛ jø ɥi wa wɛ wo → iə̆ ʏɵ̆ ʉĭ uɔ̆ uə̆ uŏ / C_
  4. p t k b d ɡ mb nd nz → pʰ tʰ kʰ p t k b d z
  5. v → w; wuV̆ → wV
  6. Académie fades into irrelevance; popular orthography takes over
(The motivation behind some of the more curious changes here is that French already seems to be in the early stages of an open-syllable conspiracy; I’m just helping it along a bit.)

Also, one change I’d quite like to do is to properly merge the ‘clitics’ into the verb. (For all intents and purposes they already are part of the verb today, but this isn’t yet reflected in the transcription or the orthography.) However, I’ll need a gloss for that. Alternately, I’d be grateful if any French-speakers here could do this for me.

It was trying to avoid fading into irrelevance, and appears to have failed at that.

(Did you think any of the actual changes were implausible?)
(Also, I think you missed a [/bk] in your first line.)
Maybe.
  • Aspirate stops [pʰ tʰ kʰ] lenite to voiceless fricatives [ɸ θ x];
  • Geminates shift to close preceding syllables;
  • Nonsyllabic schwa assimilates somewhat to the preceding vowel;
  • Before consonants, [ʁ̩] vocalises to [ɐ];
  • [d t] > [dʒ tʃ] before front rounded vowels;
  • A few minor orthographic changes; "oe" and non-initial "wau/weau" tend to lose the "w"; "wau" reverts to the historical spelling "au"; unpronounced nasal consonants are often deleted; ô is used to distinguish [o] from [ɔ] when there is no initial glide.

  • Palatalisation of [l ʁ s t dʒ ʒ x f] > [ʎ ç ɕ cɕ ɟʑ ʑ ç ç] before [i y e]; [tɬ] merges with [cɕ]
  • Deaspiration of aspirate stops;
  • Terminal [ŋ] > [w]
  • [w] > [v]
  • Deletion of glottal stops, and often intervocalic fricatives, and coalescence of vowels into new long vowels [ii ɛɛ eɛ uə ui ɔu ɛɐ oɐ] > [iː ɛː eː uː yː oː jaː oː]; [iji oja ɛwi ɛwɛ ] also collapse to [iː (w)aː jyː joː]; [ɛw] > [øː]
  • Loss of initial [x];
  • Educational standards improve drastically, and interest in historical forms of French produces a highly historicised orthography:

This kind-of resembles some sort of Late Middle or Early Modern French, except without nasal vowels. Have we come full-circle?
