You have many options available in the treatment of the vowels and consonants; already in Proto-Indo-European we discern a trend towards either engaging in af/fricativisation or not of the 'palatovelars'. This important isogloss divides Indo-European into two broad swaths: Centum and Satem. Cf. with the reconstructed PIE [[wikt:Appendix:Proto-Indo-European/ḱm̥tóm#Proto-Indo-European|*(d)ḱm̥tóm]]. | You have many options available in the treatment of the vowels and consonants; already in Proto-Indo-European we discern a trend towards either engaging in af/fricativisation or not of the 'palatovelars'.
