Phrase evolution game

[Rounin Ryuuji]

I can just apply my changes to this (and add in some others)

• As before [ɣ χ r] > [g ʁ̞ ʁ̞]; consonant + w > labialised consonant
• Coda nasals disappear, lowering, lengthening, and nasalising preceding vowels;
• Coda [h] disappears, lengthening and pharyngealising the preceding vowel; vowels after [h] also pharyngealise;
• Glottalisation becomes devoicing and gemination medially, devoicing initially and terminally; glottal stop fortifies to [t];
• Schwa is coloured to [o] by lablialisation; [a] by pharyngealisation, and shifts elsewhere to [e]
• [w] and non-syllabic [u] > [v], or [f] before voiceless stops

I have a feeling this might sound kind-of evil.

Devil's Indo European?

On a more serious not...e, it reminds me of Tocharian... no idea why.

I suggest adding the verb "to be" as a marker of perfective aspect. Would add something interesting

• Palatalisation of other consonants before [i];
• Laxing of short vowels; [e i o u] > [ɛ ɪ ɔ ʊ]; but short [i] is preserved after palatal stops, fricatives, and affricates, where it lengthens in non-function words;
• Intertonic unstressed short vowels, and vowels in unstressed open syllables in function words other than [i] tend to become schwa;
• Terminal stops link onto following initial vowels, or else are lost entirely; [t͡s], which reduces to [s]; some earlier surface filters apply across morpheme boundaries;
• German influence becomes extremely pronounced in Eastern Europe, and its orthography influences an orthographic reform:

• [d͡ʑ t͡ɕ] > [d͡z t͡s] > [z s] before [e] and terminally; inherited [t͡s d͡z] also disaffricate;
• Terminal consonants are frequently lost, with compensatory lengthening of the preceding vowel, or the syllabic element of a preceding diphthong; however this change is blocked, even across morpheme boundaries, where the consonant will often be lenited; syllable-final [s] disappears before another consonant internally with the same result, often also leniting whatever followed if a voiceless stop;
• Insertion of a few more [ɪ] to break up unwieldy clusters

The overshort vowels, noted with a breve, are unreduced, but held for about half the length of a normal syllable, while the most "prominent" high-pitched syllable also has half-lengthening; at this stage of the language, long vowels haven't yet developed, though /si/ and /ɕi/ are distinct sequences — the /si/ develops from earlier /ti/ through assibilation rather than affrication. The phones [yᵝ] and [ʉᵝ] are allophones of /u/, with [yᵝ] appearing after /j l/, in hiatus before /i/, and after palatals; there's also allophonic variation between [e] and [ɛ] (which follows roughly the same pattern), and also between [a], [æ], and [ɑ] (the last being triggered by labials and /w/), but this section doesn't give any examples. The affricate /ts/ is always at least somewhat palatalised, but does not tend to further palatalise (at this stage, anyway). Labialisation tends to be marginal or lost on /s/, and is not present on /j/, but /o/ will trigger it with most other consonants.

Anyway, have fun if you want to play with it; I'll follow Bradrn's method and just come in to change the structure when necessary, and maybe provide some influences from surrounding languages, which will all be near relations.

You can tell that it's in an archaic phase because it's written with an analogue of Man'yōgana. You can have some kana in place of the phonetic ones after a stage or two.
