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

Front Central Back
Close *i *ī *u *ū
Mid *e *ē *o *ō
Open *a *ā

Phonological laws

  1. *qχ >

  7. c > ch / _{d, t, ŧ}
  8. *tk, *ck *tkʰ/ckʰ > cht, chŧ, cth
  9. *=ʔ > word-final tonic syllable
  10. *q *χ > *ʡ *ħ
    • > except...
    • > *w / _C[+voiced] or _V[+close]
  11. coronal obstruent + sibilanti > sibilantisibilanti
  12. CC[+resonant]{C, #} > CyC[+resonant]{C, #}
    • Cyı{C, #} > Ci{C, #}
  13. CC[-resonant]C > CiC[-resonant]C
  14. *ıy[ː] > i[ː]
  15. *z > *r / V_C[-semivowel, +voiced, ~{/z/}]
  16. *h > [ː~] / _C[+fricative]
