Jamaican/Finnish Latin

  • Ecclesiastical Latin ti -> tsi gone wild: in this dialect it becomes si
    • Reflexive pronouns disappear (since tibi and sibi merge)
  • ē, ō -> ie, uo (the opposite of Romance languages)
    • could create interesting false friends with Romance languages like "bacon"/"beer can"

Tonal Latin

  • louksnā -> lū̀ˀna

Traditional English pronunciation of Sanskrit

Idea: "What if Sanskrit had a reading tradition from Medieval England"

  • "Cerebrals" merge with dentals as in southeast Asian languages
  • Word-final nasal -ṃ merges with -m as in the traditional reading of Latin
  • Miraculously final -aḥ and -o merge into /-oʊ/, the former is an independent development from Prakrit languages -- it comes from the usual assimilation of "silent gh"
