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 *ʔ
voiced *b *d *ɟ *g
aspirated *pʰ *tʰ *cʰ *kʰ *qʰ
Fricative voiceless *s *ç *h
voiced *z *ƶ *ʁ
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
  1. ph, th, ƛh, kh, qh > resp. aspirates
  2. First spirantization:
    qʰ > χ
    pʰ > f
  3. Radicalization:
    q > ʡ
    χ > ħ
  4. Assimilation of dentals:
    ts, ths > ss
    dz, thz > zz > later z
    ƛs > ƛʰ
    ƛz > λ
  5. Some cluster changes:
    tk > kt
    tp, db, kp, gb > tv, dv, kv, gv (should be earlier than PTal?)
    kt, łt, kþ > xt
    pþ > ps
    qt > ħt
  6. Second spirantization:
    tʰ > þ
    kʰ > x
    ƛʰ > ł
    ʔC > C[+long]
  7. C̓ʔ, Ch > Ce usually,
    mʔ, nʔ, lʔ, rʔ > also mp, nt, lt, rt (especially in function morphemes)
    mh, nh, lh, rh > also nf, nþ, lþ, rþ
  8. Loss of laterals (nearly unique to Themsaran?):
    ƛ > ŧ /ts/
    ł > þ
    λ > l, λλ > ld
    ḽ > ð, ḽḽ > lð
  9. Rhotacization:
    z > r / _C[+voiced]
    dl > rl
  10. Epenthetic vowels are added:
    CC[+resonant]# > CyC[+resonant]# and in many functional morphemes.
  11. w > v (a velarized labiodental approximant)
  12. ʁ / V_V, _C[+coronal] > v (a Themsarian-only sound change)
  13. ʁ otherwise > ʕ
  14. Loss of glottal stop:
    • clitic =ʔ becomes final downstep
    • vowel contractions: (~ denotes *ʔ or *h)
    • *a~ > ā
    • *a~e, *ajV *a~i > ae
    • *aj, a~ī > ai
    • *a~o, *awV(sometimes), *a~u > ao
    • *aw, > au (sometimes)
    • *e~C > eaC
    • *ej, *ew, *e~ī > ei
    • *e~u, *e~ū > ju, jū
    • *ēj > ie
    • *ē~ > ie (sometimes)
    • *i~C > ieC
    • *o~C > oaC
    • *o~i, oj, u~i, uj > ȳ
    • *o~ī > oi
    • *ow > ū
    • *u~C > uoC
    • *u~ī > ui
  15. ʕ > ħ
  16. vv. zz > wv z
  17. bb, dd, gg > mb, nd, ng
  18. also qq ħħ > q ħ, lengthening previous vowel
  19. Loss of word-final radicals:

C[+radical] > a / _#
