			(Source I recommend reading the first parts of the "Chronological history" section of: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonological_history_of_French)
			* word initial s- becomes ǐs- > ēs- (es-)
			* Any word final consonant in Latin that isn't -s gets culled off unless it's a monosyllable (e.g. rem > rien)
			* ns > s (mensa > mesa)
			* rs > ss (sporadically due to different trends in different communities) (Dorsum > dossu > dos in Fr, ursum > urso)
			* unstressed intertonic vowels get reduced into oblivion in specific circumstances (Consult wikipedia page)
			* -er > -re, -or > -ro -- French would lose final -e in general, thus super > supre > suwr(e) > sur; Spanish joins in later with -dad.
			----
			* kt > jt
			* ks > js (~sj > š in some areas)
			* Some inconsistent treatment of breaking vowels before palatals e.g. French nŏ́jte > nuojte > nujt > nuit; Es. noche, but mucho.
			* Less inconsistent treatment of breaking vowels before liquids and nasals, e.g. Spanish tierra but French terre, but O.Fr. tertium > tierz
			* Some disagreement between family members on how to treat things before semivowels in general, e.g. French sur but Es. sobre.

Vowels and COnsonants

New page

==Vowels==

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Classical Latin !! Closed !! Open & Tonic
|-
| ī || Example || Example
|-
| ū || Example || Example
|-
| ē, i, oe || e || e ~ ɛe
|-
| ō, u || o || o ~ ɔo
|-
| e, ae || ɛ || eɛ
|-
| o || ɔ || oɔ
|-
| a || a || a
|-
| au || ɔ || ɒɔ
|}

In addition:
* for all vowels other than closed and au, there are open-stressed variants that are slightly diphthongised, e.g. ɛ might be eɛ and e might be ɛe
* new diphthongs arise as consonants lenite away
* unstressed e often turns into a semivowel before other vowels, this happening quite early on.

== Consonants ==
{| class="wikitable"

! Classical Latin !! Normal !! Intervocalic (ignoring r's) !! Palatalised
|-
| p || p || p || p (unless voiced first)
|-
| t || t || d || tsj
|-
| c || c || Example || tsj > z <c, ç, z>(unless voiced first)
|-
| qu || qu || gu || rarely tsj > z, mostly k (cf. cinco)
|-
| b || b || Example || j (rubeV-> rojo, rouge)

| m || m || m || mj, nj (cambiare > change)

| n || n, Ø (in ns) || n || nj
|-
| r || r, : (in rs > ss e.g. dorsu- > dosso; tempero-dialectal thing) || r || rj
|-
| l || Example || Example || Example
|}

In addition:
* L after vowels originally is dark when it becomes a semi-vowel (e.g. altro > otro), but later on it stops being dark in some dialects, allowing for "mucho" to exist).
