Sound changes in rough order of occurrence
- -ns- clusters are reduced to -s-
- -rs- clusters are reduced to -s-: cf. dorsum > fr. dos, es. Dueso
- Initial gl- and bl- are reduced to l-: cf. globus, blasphemo
- Medial -tl- clusters and medial become -cl- clusters
- Medial -pl- clusters that fail to become -bl- clusters become -cl- clusters: normally occurs after nasals and other intervening consonants (amplus > es. ancho), but occasionally occurs spontaneously as well. Cf. copula > collo
- Word initial Cl- clusters merge with cl-
- Word initial c~g voicing distinction blurred: cf. es. cattus > gato, es. planus > llano, pt. flamma > chama, neo/sic. platea > chiazza, one Italian word with g- > chi-, etc.. Is c > g blocked by a second g or similar? cf. gato with collo.
- gl > jl > lj: May actually be, say, -pl- > -bj- > -wj- > jj, cf viejo, but pl > gl > j > Z can occur just as easily and simplifies word initial changes.
Later changes
- Dissimilation of nasals and laterals occur: cf. globus > novelo (Pt.) (see also: Romanian, Pt, Es)
