Note: Shifted vowels to be closer to what we understand Classical pronunciation to have been.

Vowels in open stressed syllables lengthen when not already long, preserving original qualities rather than merging with pre-existing long counterparts.

Note: Removed final [m] and replaced [ʊm] with [ʊ̃] per reconstructed Latin pronuncation.

Also nasalized all pre-nasal vowels.

[ɪ̃m'pɛː.rjʊ̃ rɔ̃m'aːn.ʊ̃]

Plosives assimilate to a previous nasal:

[ɪ̃m'mæ.rjʊ̃ rɔ̃m'ɑn.ʊ̃]

I'm gonna assume my change won't be ignored this time :roll:

Apocope! As a result new word-final approximants become vowels.
