  • Post-tonic /ə/ lost; then any resulting final post-consonantal /j/ > /i/
  • Rounding harmony within a word, with preference towards rounding
  • Final /m n nn/ > /mp nt ŋ/

  1. lɰ → ɫ
  2. ɬ → l
  3. Rounding harmony becomes associated with backness: front rounded vowels back, consonants organise into palatalised/rounded pairs (particularly note [s~ʃ z~ʒ l~ɫ c~kʷ h~ʍ])
  4. fʷ vʷ → ʍ w
  5. uːa̯ oa̯ ao̯ → uwa owa awo
  6. Cʍ → C
  7. final stops → ∅
  8. Conservative orthographic reform [represented using Latin letters, since I don’t have a Verdurian font]

Daughterlang 1 (based on Rounin Ryuuji's most recent post):
More: show
  1. /ou/ smooths to /oː/. (/ei/ would also smooth to /eː/ were it in the sample.)
  2. /i u/ becomes /j w/ when adjacent to another vowel.
  3. Stressed vowels in open syllables lengthen; syllables ending in /j ɥ w/ are considered closed syllables for the purposes of this change.
  4. The spelling is reformed. The romanization mostly stays faithful to zompist's conventions, but the acute is now repurposed to represent a long vowel and not just any stressed vowel; stress on short vowels is no longer marked. /ə/ is exempt from the spelling reform.

Daughterlang 2 (based on Neonnaut's post):

  1. Edit: Retroactively capitalized a proper noun that was lowercased.
  2. Some minor syllabification changes.
  3. /œy oj/ smooth to /œː øː/.
  4. /ʈ/ affricates to /ʈ͡ʂ/.
  5. Syllable-final /l/ vocalizes to /w/.
  6. Silent letters elide from the spelling.

Language 1:
  • Second round umlaut — vowels directly preceding [i j ɥ[/i] are raised and/or fronted, with fronting continuing as many as the same vowel are adjacent;
    [*][ə a] merge to [ɐ];
    [*][ɐw] merges with [oː]; [ɛw] > [øː] after [ɥ];
    [*]Loss of terminal [m n] with compensatory lengthening of preceding vowel; resulting [ɐː ʊː] > [aː uː];
    [*]Laxing of remaining short vowels [i ø o u] > [ɪ œ ɒ ʊ];
    [*]Loss of terminal unstressed short vowels following long vowels;
    [*]Loss of unstressed pretonic short vowels in words of three syllables or more;
    [*]A few spelling changes occur.]

  • Long vowels become falling diphthongs in open syllables [ɛː ɑː œː] > [ɛj ɑw øj];
  • [s ʂ] > [ʃ] before voiceless stops and front vowels;
  • Unstressed pretonic and posttonic short vowels reduce to schwa except if the coda is [j] or [w]
  • Stressed short [ʊ ɔ] > [wo we]
  • Debuccalisation of [f] > [h]
  • Spelling changes.

  1. The spelling of "neixen/naixen" standardizes to "neixen" since "naixen" is Valencian.
  2. /ts dz/ come to be perceived as affricates.
  3. Vowels nasalize before a nasal consonant; postvocalic nasal consonants then elide unless the next word starts with a vowel and there is no intervening pausa.
  4. /iw/ > /ju/; resulting /lj nj/ would coalesce and merge with /ʎ ɲ/ were they in the sample.
  5. /t d s z/ palatalize to /t͡ʃ d͡ʒ ʃ ʒ/ before front vowels and /j/; /j/ then elides after postalveolars and other palatals.
  6. Intervocalic /b d ɡ/ lenite to /β̞ ð̞ ɣ̞/, even next to a word boundary (but not when a pausa intervenes).
