I got Proto Greek though

Unfortunately no

Koine:

Εν ἀρχῇ ἐποίησεν ὁ θεὸς τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ τὴν γῆν. ἡ δὲ γῆ ἦν ἀόρατος καὶ ἀκατασκεύαστος, καὶ σκότος ἐπάνω τῆς ἀβύσσου, καὶ πνεῦμα θεοῦ ἐπεφέρετο ἐπάνω τοῦ ὕδατος

• Edit: Retroactively restored a missing smooth breathing.
• The text is given its Koine Greek pronunciation, which is reconstructed here to be as in Modern Greek except that ⟨οι υ υι⟩ are still /y/:

• As in Modern Greek, velars front to palatal before a front vowel.
• Nasal consonants nasalize the preceding vowel; final /n/ then elides unless the next word starts with a vowel and there's no intervening pausa.
• Final /s/ debuccalizes to /h/.

1. Transcribe nasal liaison
2. i y → ɨ i
3. Glide insertion between hiatus
4. Complex onsets get prothetic [ɨ] if word-initial, or resyllabification otherwise
5. Syllable-final [r] → [n]
6. a → ɔ / before velars and labials, a → ɛ / before palatals and [n]
7. ʝ nç → ɲ
8. v → w
9. Minor orthographic changes; romanisation developed anachronistically (coincidentally based on ALA-LC)

• Retroactively debuccalized a final /s/ that didn't become /h/ (my bad).
• Final /h/ elides and leaves behind breathy voice on the preceding vowel.
• Syllable-final /s/ assimilates to the following stop.
• Syllable-final stops cease to have an audible release.

[Rounin Ryuuji]

• [ɨ a] merge to a low central vowel [ɐ]; nasalisation blocks this shift; some orthographic confusion results;
• [t c θ ð] > [ts ts t d], but [ð] remains as an allophone of /d/ between vowels;
• Breathy-voiced vowels merge with non-breathy-voiced counterparts;
• Back Vowel chain shift [u o ɔ] > [y u o], this is also blocked by nasalisation;
• Loss of medial nasalisation if an oral vowel follows immediately after the triggering nasal consonant, even across morpheme boundaries;
• Small orthographic changes, and a new Romanisation.

[StrangerCoug]

• /ɐ/ changes to /ə/ in unstressed syllables and function words; nasalization once again blocks the vowel shift.
• Stressed open monophthongs become long except in function words.
• Major spelling reform:
  • The Greek Orthodox Church finally gives up on polytonic and switches to monotonic.
  • ⟨ς⟩ is abolished and elided from the spelling.
  • /j/ is now represented and spelled ⟨ϳ⟩, encoded using U+03F3.
  • /ts w/ are now consistently indicated as ⟨τ β⟩.
  • The spelling of vowels is regularized: /a/ → ⟨α⟩, /ɐ/ → ⟨η⟩, /ɛ/ → ⟨αι⟩, /e/ → ⟨ε⟩, /i/ → ⟨ι⟩, /ɨ̃~ɨn/ → ⟨ην⟩, /o/ → ⟨ω⟩, /u/ → ⟨ο⟩, /y/ → ⟨υ⟩. /ə/ is exempt from respelling, and ⟨ν⟩ continues to be used to mark the preceding vowel as nasal.

[Rounin Ryuuji]

• Loss of nasalisation, ejecting [m] into the coda of monosyllables, or without trace elsewhere;
• [s ts] > [ɕ cɕ] after [y]
• Major vowel mergers [a ɐ] > [ɐ̞], [ɛ e] > [e̞], [ə o] > [o̞], [i ɨ] > [i], [u y] > [ʉ], but preservation of [y] as an allophone after palatals;
• Elision of [w] between vowels; if a long vowel follows directly after a short, quantitative metathesis occurs
• Remaining [ts] > [s];
• No orthographic changes occur, however a new Romanisation is devised, mostly for teaching students before they're familiar with the Greek Alphabet and its now very muddied spellings.

We already did Tsʼixa (Khoisan). Turns out people don’t like clicks in their sound changes; they all disappeared after a few rounds. I vote for something Australian, preferably non–Pama-Nyungan with nice long words. (Bininj Gun-Wok? Murrinhpatha? Nyulnyul?)

Korean actually would be quite interesting, if only we could figure out exactly how to transcribe the emphatic consonants phonetically.

• /Nb Nd Nɟ Ng/ > /mm nn ɲɲ ŋŋ/
• Other coda nasals disappear, shifting preceding vowels to long nasal; historical /m/ in these contexts tends to result in some backing or rounding additionally; a subsequent nasal of the same manner of articulation blocks loss in the coda, but nasalisation still occurs;
• Initial geminates merge to voiceless, voicless geminates become aspirated, voiced geminates devoice; initial geminates then degeminate; sequences of two voiceless stops become aspirate geminates, with assimilation to the last consonant in the sequence
• [c kj] > [cɕ]; [ç] > [ɕ]; non-geminate [ɲ] > [ʑ]
• Creation of a Romanisation scheme.

• [ə] tends to assimilate to the articulation of the nearest vowel sound;
• [e] merges with [i], [ɑ] becomes [a], [u ɯ] merge to [ʉ]; nasalisation blocks these changes, but [ẽ] merges with [ɛ̃]; breathy-voicing is lost;
• Terminal consonants geminate across morpheme boundaries word-internally;
• Nasalisation is lost before non-nasal consonants; degemination of nasal consonants;
• Slight adjustments to the Romanisation.
