[æ] > [ja]

['tjam.mɛ 'tuβ_ 'aβ nɛ 'me.za 'ja.mɛn 'niz]
tiälme tuw al nä meza iämen niz

[Travis B.]

[tj] > [tɕ]

['tɕam.mɛ 'tuβ_ 'aβ nɛ 'me.za 'ja.mɛn 'niz]
tiälme tuw al nä meza iämen niz

[Rounin Ryuuji]

Coda fricatives devoice

['tɕam.mɛ 'tuɸ_ 'aɸ nɛ 'me.za 'ja.mɛn 'nis]
tiälme tuw aw nä meza iämen nis

[Travis B.]

[ɸ] is elided before consonants

['tɕam.mɛ 'tuɸ_ 'a nɛ 'me.za 'ja.mɛn 'nis]
tiälme tuw aw nä meza iämen nis

[foxcatdog]

['u.na.na 'ɛn.sʲi.xa tu 'pai 'pa.ɸa.xa]
unana enśika tu pai papaka

*{s,z,Ḱ}a- > iɔ̯- / %(C)_

['tiɔ̯m.mɛ 'tuɸ_ 'a nɛ 'me.iɔ̯ 'iɔ̯.mɛn 'nis]
tiälme tuw aw nä meza iämen nis

[Travis B.]

As I don't like replacing words or sentences that haven't been sent straight to hell, but I don't like ignoring them either, I'll do both at once:

Nasalization of vowels before nasals (not across word boundaries).

['tĩɔ̯̃m.mɛ 'tuɸ_ 'a nɛ 'me.iɔ̯ 'ĩɔ̯̃.mɛ̃n 'nis]
tiälme tuw aw nä meza iämen nis

Affrication of sibilants after nasals.

['u.na.na 'ɛn.tsʲi.xa tu 'pai 'pa.ɸa.xa]
unana enśika tu pai papaka

[Rounin Ryuuji]

Loss of nasal consonants after nasalised vowels:

['tĩɔ̯̃.mɛ 'tuɸ_ 'a nɛ 'me.iɔ̯ 'ĩɔ̯̃.mɛ̃ 'nis]
tiänme tuw aw nä meza iänmen nis

[a] > [ɐ] in unstressed syllables:

['u.nɐ.nɐ 'ɛn.tsʲi.xɐ tu 'pai 'pa.ɸɐ.xɐ]
unana enśika tu pai papaka

[Man in Space]

Lowering of nasal vowels in exchange for their nasalization (on mobile so apologies for the lack of diacritics)

['tæa.mɛ 'tuɸ_ 'a nɛ 'me.iɔ̯ 'æa.mæ 'nis]
tiänme tuw aw nä meza iänmen nis

*VKV > KV: for V identical

['u.nɐ.nɐ 'ɛn.tsʲi.xɐ tu 'pai 'pa.ɸjɐ:]
unana enśika tu pai papaka

[Travis B.]

[æa] > [æɑ̯]

['tæɑ̯.mɛ 'tuɸ_ 'a nɛ 'me.iɔ̯ 'æɑ̯.mæ 'nis]
tiänme tuw aw nä meza iänmen nis

[ɸj] > [ç]

['u.nɐ.nɐ 'ɛn.tsʲi.xɐ tu 'pai 'pa.çɐ:]
unana enśika tu pai papaka

[Rounin Ryuuji]

Unstressed terminal vowels in non-monosyllables lost with compensatory lengthening of the preceding vowel:

['tæːɑ̯m 'tuɸ_ 'a nɛ 'meːi 'æːɑ̯.m 'nis]
Teame tuw aw ne meie eame nis

Loss of intertonic [ɐ]:

['un.nɐ 'ɛn.tsʲi.xɐ tu 'pai 'pa.çɐ:]
Unna entsikha tu pai pahiā

[Travis B.]

[æːɑ̯] breaks to [æ.jɑ]

['tæ.jɑm 'tuɸ_ 'a nɛ 'meːi 'æ.jɑ.m 'nis]
Teame tuw aw ne meie eame nis

Shortening of long nasals with nasalization of preceding consonants.

['ũ.nɐ 'ɛn.tsʲi.xɐ tu 'pai 'pa.çɐ:]
Unna entsikha tu pai pahiā

[Rounin Ryuuji]

Vowels lengthen in open stressed syllables:

['tæː.jɑm 'tuɸ_ 'aː nɛ 'meːi 'æː.jɑ.m 'nis]
Teame tuw aw ne meie eame nis

Devoicing of high vowels word-internally between voiceless consonants:

['ũ.nɐ 'ɛn.tsʲi̥.xɐ tu 'pai 'pa.çɐ:]
Unna entsikha tu pai pahiā

[Man in Space]

Surprise! Both our language communities got conquered. They impose spellings more like their own.

Back vowels front following alveolars or palatals

['tæː.jæm 'tyɸ_ 'aː nɛ 'meːi 'æː.jæm 'nis]
Tägiäm tuf ag näi megi ägiäm nis

Voiceless vowels delete, taking a following voiceless fricative with them if present

['ũ.nɐ 'ɛn.tsʲɐ tu 'pai 'pɐ:]
Oũnă äinćă tou pai păg

[foxcatdog]

*p debucalises initially along with nationalist revival

['ũ.nɐ 'ɛn.tsʲɐ tu 'hai 'hɐ:]
una enśa tu hai haa

[Man in Space]

Nasal consonants become prestopped in the coda

['tæː.jæ^bm 'tyɸ_ 'aː nɛ 'meːi 'æː.jæ^bm 'nis]
Tägiäm tuf ag näi megi ägiäm nis

Nasal consonants become prestopped in the coda

['ũ.nɐ 'ɛ^dn.tsʲɐ tu 'hai 'hɐ:]
una enśa tu hai haa

[Travis B.]

Prestopped nasals denasalize.

['tæː.jæb 'tyɸ_ 'aː nɛ 'meːi 'æː.jæb 'nis]
Tägiäm tuf ag näi megi ägiäm nis

Vowels before voiced obstruents, include prestopped nasals, lengthen.

['ũ.nɐ 'ɛ:^dn.tsʲɐ tu 'hai 'hɐ:]
una enśa tu hai haa

[Man in Space]

*V…V > V…Ø for V identical

['tæːjb 'tyɸ 'aː nɛ 'meːi 'æːjb 'nis]
Tägiäm tuf ag näi megi ägiäm nis

Loss of terminal unstressed vowels

['ũn 'ɛ:^dntsʲ t_'hai 'hɐ:]
una enśa tu hai haa

[foxcatdog]

Vowel breaking

['ũn 'iɛ^dntsʲ t_'hai 'huɐ]
una enśa tu hai haa

[Man in Space]

foxcatdog, you keep missing the first one.

*{V,w,j}b > v / V_

['tæːv 'tyɸ 'aː nɛ 'meːi 'æːv 'nis]
Tägiäm tuf ag näi megi ägiäm nis

Loss of nasals following nasalized vowels

['ũ 'iɛ^dntsʲ t_'hai 'huɐ]
Una enśa tu hai haa
