The goal of this page is to create a suitable set of sound changes while minimizing change to the vocab. If something is very clearly unnaturalistic, I'm willing to go back and make changes however.

Cwengâr:

  • Lenitioning of Unvoiced consonants prior to a back vowel: [qCf->ɢCf].
  • Reflexively, there was a fortitioning of Voiced Consonants prior to a Front Vowel: [ɢCf->qCf]
    • This is a point of Departure with Cán Ánan which continued the lenition, thus; [ɢCf->ʁCf]
  • Grammatical Flapping Lenitioning for compounds was already a Galavic innovation, Cwengâr and Fén both apply this to some grammatical concepts, particularly adjectives and nouns. Cwengâr introduced nasal fortitioning to increase contrast between possessed objects and vowels and merged auxiliaries.
  • Two major vowel shifts; ɯ>ɤ>ʌ>ɑ and ɪ>e>ɜ>a.
  • i and u also eventually shifted to y and ʏ respectively. Though this is believed to have occureed with a shift of i>ɪ and u>i, before the accent came to emulate Toryl.
