Proto-Talsmic phonology

Consonant inventory

Proto-Talsmic reconstructed consonants
Labial Alveolar Palatal Velar Uvular Glottal
Nasal *m *n
Plosive voiceless *p *t *c *k *q
voiced *b *d *g
aspirated *pʰ *tʰ *cʰ *kʰ *qʰ
Fricative voiceless *s *h
voiced *z
Approximant *w *j
Trill *r
Lateral app. *l

/qʰ/ may have been realized as an affricate, [qχ].

Vocalic inventory

Open *a *ā

Phonological laws

  • *mʔ, *nʔ, *lʔ, *rʔ > mp, nt, lt, rt
  • *mh, *nh, *lh, *rh > mf, nth, lth, rth

  • CC[+resonant]{C, #} > CyC[+resonant]{C, #}
    • Cyı{C, #} > Ci{C, #}
  • CC[-resonant]C > CiC[-resonant]C
  • ıy[ː] > i[ː]
  • z > r / V_C[-semivowel, +voiced, ~{/z/}]
  • h > [ː~] / _C[+fricative]
  • > [ː~] / _C
  • c > ch / _{d, t, ŧ}
  • *tk, *ck *tkʰ/ckʰ > cht, chŧ, cth
  • *q
    • > ħ / _{t, ŧ}
    • > v / _C[+voiced +obstruent]
    • > ħ except...
    • > v / _C[+voiced] or _V[+close]
  • nr > ndr, lr > ldr
