Phonology
Consonants
Perhaps most strikingly, most Kammalic languages are devoid of fricatives or aspirates. The following is the consonant inventory of Proto-Kammalic, arguably the most divergent of all of Pfeuno-Kitelucquian:
| Labial | Dental | Retroflex | Palatal | Velar | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| plain | labialized | ||||||
| Nasal | m /m/ | n /n/ | rn /ɲ/ | ng /ŋ/ | ngbhf /ŋʷ/ | ||
| Plosive | plain | p /p~b/ | t /t~d/ | rt /ʈ~ɖ/ | c /k~g/ | cbhf /kʷ~gʷ/ | |
| ejective | ph /pʼ/ | th /tʼ/ | rth /ʈʼ/ | ch /kʼ/ | chbhf /kʷʼ/ | ||
| Trill | r /r/ | ||||||
| Approximant | bhf /w/ | l /l/ | dh /j/ | ||||
Composition
one descendant will turn them into geminates and another turns them into ejectives
and some with both geminates and ejectivs
and one outlier with fricatives! (via grimm's law: p' > p, p > f)
