Language 1: Assibilation, and an orthographic reform:
[six]
zich
Language 1.5: [x] > [ʃ] before front vowels, another orthographic reform:
[ʃix'xai]
Scicchai
Language 2: [eː] > [ia], another orthographic reform
['keːis]
tiais
Language 3: [s] > [ʃ], orthographic form

Instead of focusing on single words, I'm going to start a new set of words, in this case English one through ten:
one two three four five six seven eight nine ten
[wɐ̃ːn tʰʉː θɻiː fɔːɻ faːɪ̯v sɪʔks ˈsɛːvn̩ eʔt nãːɪ̯̃n tʰɛ̃ːn]
and I am going to split it into two different dialects:
The first will have final devoicing:
[wɐ̃ːn tʰʉː θɻiː fɔːɻ faːɪ̯f sɪʔks ˈsɛːvn̩ eʔt nãːɪ̯̃n tʰɛ̃ːn]
The second will have the NCVS:
[wʌ̃ːn tʰʉː θɻiː fɔːɻ faːɪ̯v sɘʔks ˈsɜːvn̩ eʔt nãːɪ̯̃n tʰɜ̃ːn]

Language 1: Non-nasal long high vowels diphthongise:
[wɐ̃ːn tʰʉu θɻɪi fɔːɻ faːɪ̯f sɪʔks ˈsɛːvn̩ eʔt nãːɪ̯̃n tʰɛ̃ːn]
Language 2: Loss of terminal nasal consonants after nasal vowels (syllabic nasals remain):
[wʌ̃ː tʰʉː θɻiː fɔːɻ faːɪ̯v sɘʔks ˈsɜːvn̩ eʔt nãːɪ̯̃ tʰɜ̃ː]

[wɐ̃ːn tʰəːu̯ θɻəːi̯ fɔːɻ faːf sɪʔks ˈsɛːvn̩ eʔt nãːn tʰɛ̃ːn]

A bunch of proto germanic mammal names. Some of these are hypotheticals and some of these don't really work with their english equivalents.
