We have not really destroyed the previous sentence here, so I am copying it in this post:

[mɔ 'ɕɛj biu̯.la'ⁿdʑɛj 'ʒdʒi]
Mò chè’rs bulangèr ch’tl’zis

Intervocalic unstressed [n] > [w̃] with nasalization of the preceding vowel:

['hã:w̃au ʔia na: ka:'naka a pau me ke ku:ʔokoʔa a ua like ka ha'nohãw̃o a me na: 'põw̃o]
Hānau ʻia nā kānaka a pau me ke kūʻokoʻa a ua like ka hanohano a me nā pono

Diphthongs become long vowels:

[ʔ] fortifies to [t]

Prenasalisation becomes gemination

[aː au] collapse to [ɔː], blocked by nasalisation:

Loss of *h with hiatus resolution

*i lost when prevocalic, with *u fronting in response

Diphthong smoothing with compensatory lengthening:

[mw_'jæː bjœː.lac'çɛː 'ʃtʃi]
Moù’ hiaî’s bieûlacchèr l’tl’zis

(Edit: I think maybe we can call French destroyed now. Maybe.)

Vowel length > gemination of preceding consonant in the same word if present and medial, and [ʕ] otherwise

['hãʕɔʕ ta nɔʕ χɔn'na a heʕ be ke χit'tota a ia like ka han'noχõ a be nɔʕ 'hõʕ]
