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.]

Language 2:
- Long vowel breaking in stressed closed syllables: [œː iː ɔː øː] > [jo ai wo ɥe];
- 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.
