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:

Proto-Kammalic consonants
Labial Dental Retroflex Palatal Velar Uvular
Nasal m /m/ n /n/ rn /ɲ/ ng /ŋ~ɴ/
Plosive plain p /p~b/ t /t~d/ rt /ʈ~ɖ/ k /k~g/ q /q~ɢ/
ejective /pʼ/ /tʼ/ rtʼ /ʈʼ/ /kʼ/ /qʼ/
Trill r /r/
Approximant w /w/ l /l/ y /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)
