7. The resulting system of 18 monophthongs is extremely unstable and collapses: ɪ ʏ ʊ → i ʉ u, ɵ → ø, ɛ ɔ → æ ɒ, ɑ → ɐ, with /ij/ → [ɪj] allophonically

Have fun with the new vowel system!

1) peripheral consonants labiovelarize before rounded vowels; coronal consonants other than /r/ palatalize before front vowels - same after such vowels word-finally
2) nonfront vowels front (and unround where applicable) preceding a front vowel
3) short vowels > schwa, then V: V:: > V V:
4) schwa drops where phonotactics permit
5) s t ɾ > θ ʈ ɖ > tˠ tʂ dʐ;
6) all consonants form palatalized / plain and velarized / labialized pairs

Spelling remains largely conservative, though there is some confusion of orthographical "y" and "e" in formerly unstressed position ("iy" may also become confused with "e"); a few words are also "corrected" to more ancient forms, including replacing terminal -ch with more "proper" Latinate -s.

Time for something new?

Modern English so it's eastier to introduce grammatical changes
The battles on the Eastern Front of the Second World War constituted the largest military confrontation in history. They were characterised by unprecedented ferocity and brutality, wholesale destruction, mass deportations, and immense loss of life due to combat, starvation, exposure, disease, and massacres.

1. Implement some modern-day changes: cliticisation, allophony of /r/ (incl. non-roticity), /t/ and /d/-tapping, some syncope, aspiration etc.
2. /l/-vocalisation (another modern change, though less universal)
3. [ɪ ə] (and [i] in [ði‿]) merge to [ə] in unstressed syllables
4. Unstressed vowels lost between voiceless consonants
5. ɻ → w → β; fβ pʰβ bβ → β; tʃβ → tβ
6. Vz → Və, except əz → əi

No grammatical or orthographical changes for now.

(1) Labial-Lateral consonant chain shift, [w] > [ɫ], [β] > [w], [br]b[/br] > [β] > [v], [l] > [ʎ]
(1.1) [j] > [ʎ] initially
(1.2) Coalescence of new sequences, [wʌ] > [wo], [nw] > [m], [ewə eju] > [jou], [ju] > [iy], [əˈwɑ] > [wou]
(2.) Second Great Vowel Shift, affects chiefly the long vowels, diphthongs, and triphthongs at first: [aɪ aɪə] > [aː] ("why-wire" merger), [ɔː ou] > [oː] ("stow-store" merger), [eɪ] > [ɔɪ] > [waː], [ɑː] > [ɑə] > [eə] > [ɛː], [əi ɜː] > [ɛː] ("star-stir" merger), [iy] > [yː]
(2.1) Continuation of the above, [æ ə] > [ɛ] before consonants, but postvocalically [ə] disappears, lengthening the preceding vowel
(2.2) Continuation of the above: [ɑ ʌ] > [a] ("bot-but" merger), [ɪ] > [i]
(2.3) "Of"-coalescence, intrusion of a dialectal form [əw] > [ɔ] used for possessum-marking
(2.4) "The"-cliticisation, attaching it to the beginning of the word as a definite marker; following voiceless consonants may voice in assimilation to it
(2.5) "To"-cliticisation, as above.
(2.5) "Military" gains a "corrected" pronunciation, so does "history"
(2.6) "Were" becomes a fully realised word, possibly from dialectal intrusion or a widespread hypercorrection.
(2.7) [sj] > [ʃ], [ʃ ʤ] > [s dz] before [ɛ], [ɛ] > [a] after [ʒ]; [tʰ s z] > [tʃʰ ʃ ʒ] before [i], but the first is blocked by preceding [s]
(3.) s-dropping (loss of terminal [z], but [s] is not affected), analogisation of some plural forming patterns: the plural of "house" becomes "hyce", the plural of "moose" becomes "meece", otherwise the plural marker is [ɛn], from a few common words like "children"; Dutch and German influence probably also plays a role; words ending in a vowel simply add [n]

A few apostrophes and the orthographical representation of a few new markers become accepted, and the "ar er ir ur" vowels in stressed position tend to all be spelled "er" where descended from earlier "ar", and "ir" elsewhere, but there is not infrequent confusion between them. Earlier "long a" > "oi" was accepted earlier (at first facetiously, but then becoming widespread), and now remains as a historical spelling.

The velar lateral tends to be spelled "wl" and [w] as "brw", "rw", "wr", and all manners of other atrocities, owing to a growing fascination with Chaucer, Old Norse, and Old English having fostered some desire to return to "older" ideas of spelling. Some instances of newer [tʃʰ] are "ch", but are often still "t". Many cases of short o/u end up spelled "a", after a period of great confusion. The old orthography and "Classical English" are taught in schools, and reading books in the older style is commonplace, with being able to compose text in it being a sort of thing pretentious people, or historical reenactors, might still do, though this is not part of regular school curriculum. As a holdover from [ai] > [aː], [aː] is often spelled "y", but may be "i" in some situations.

(1) Preglottalised consonants are geminated, followed by loss of preglottalisation; a "tripled" consonant or initial geminate will insert epenthetic [ɨ]; geminates after long vowels are likewise separated;
(1.1) Stress shifts triggered by gemination after short vowels;
(2.) When a stressed short open syllable is followed by an unstressed long one, quantitative metathesis shifts the length to the stressed open short syllable;
(2.1) Coronal and retroflex fricatives and affricates become palatals before [i]; retroflexes merge with coronals elsewhere, [ʂʈ(ʈ)] > [st(t)] > [st] with fortification of the preceding vowel
(2.2) [sx] > [ʃ]; [ʃ] > [s] before consonants; [jɨ] > [jy]
(3) [ɣ x] > [ʁ], [ɾ] > [l]

Orthographic Notes: [ʁ] comes to be spelled "gh" before consonants, and "ghr" initially, in imitation of classical use of "gh" everywhere without much apparent reason behind the sounds it spells; [j] is frequently spelled "ly"; "w" is added to r-clustering where missing, and clusters such as "pr fr" are restored, albeit with trailing w still present; "s't" is frequently respelled "sd" or "-sde"; many of the retroflex consonants had "r" inserted (apparently during a Sinophile period coupled with noticing that Classical English also has a great number of needless r's) and they ended up sticking around

My poor palatals can't ever last. Oh,well.

(1) Third Great Vowel Shift, begins with the diphthongisation of long vowels, [ɛː] > [iɐ], [ɑː] > [ɑʉ] > [ɔʉ], [oː] > [ʉɐ], [ʉː] > [øʉ] > [ɛʉ], [iː] > [ɐi], [aː] > [ɛæ] > [iɛ];
(1.1) [a ɐ ə ɑ] all merge to [ɐ] in stressed syllables, but [ə] when unstressed; unstessed [o] > [ə], especially the possessum marker;
(1.2) [i ɛ ɨ] all merge to [ɨ] in unstressed syllables, [ən] becomes [ɨn], but the plural marker tends to retain a full vowel, remaining [o] > [ɔ]
(2) Morphological changes:
(2.1) The possessum case is supplanted by a dialectal form [ɐ], spelled "-ar".
(2.2) The definite case forms of words are supplanted by the indefinite, with definiteness optionally marked with a particle "thie" [ðɐi], which is much more emphatic than the the former definite; definiteness and indefiniteness now being far less-often distinguished;
(2.3) The suppletive copula is replaced by a regularised one, nonpast [ɔʉ], past ['ɔʉ.wɨn] ("are, arwen")
(3.1) Palatalisation, stage 1: before [i] [s ʃ] > [ɕ], [ç] > [ɕ], [z ʒ] > [ʑ]; retroflex nasals become plain, retroflex fricatives become coronals
(3.2) [jɨ] > [ɛ.i] > [ɐiə],
(3.3) Palatalisation, stage 2: in the same context, [k g] > [cɕ ɟʑ]
(3.4) Consonants preceding palatals are assimilated to them
(4.) Rhotic-Lateral Shift [r] > [l], [ɰ x] > [ʁ] > [ɹ], but [ɹ] > vowel length terminally (we cannot be uncouth, rhotic barbarians, after all)
(4.1) [v] > [w], but blocked by preceding consonants
(4.2) [ð] > [d], [z] > [s] initially, [dz] > [ts] > [st]
(4.3) [j] > [ɟʑ] where not perceived as an excrescence of [i], [ʃʃ] > [ss] > [s]
(4.4) after palatals, [ʊ ʉ] > [y]

The emendations of the Writers Against Unnecessary Letters meet with a revolt and are reversed under the influence of the Classical Spelling Society, which attempts something more broadly acceptable than what was before, albeit with just as much mistaken classicalisation:

That’s entirely my fault; I don’t like palatals. In fact, I loathe palatals, especially when ignorant people try to contrast them with palatal-alveolars. That is why I destroy palatals when I see them; I wish to erase all palatals from the world! Death to all palatals!! Bwa-ha-ha-ha-hããã!!!

(At this point I should probably be stroking a white cat or something while maniacally laughing, but all I have is a rather cute tabby who is currently sleeping. Ah well.)

Also, in case you’ve noticed, I don’t like [y] either. But in deference to your complaint, I have refrained from eliminating both palatals and [y] from your text.
