Phonology

Consonants

Perhaps most strikingly, most Kammalic languages have simple syllables and are devoid of fricatives or aspirates. The following is the consonant inventory of Proto-Kammalic:

Proto-Kammalic consonants
Labial Dental Retroflex Palatal Velar Uvular
Nasal m /m/ n /n/ rn /ɳ/ 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/ rl /ɭ/ y /j/

Vowels

Front Central Back
short long short long short long
Close i /i/ ī /iː/ u /u/ ū /uː/
Close-mid e /e~ə/ ē /eː/ o /o/ ō /oː/
Open a /a/ ā /aː/

a e i o u ā ē ī ō ū ay aw ey ew iw oy ow uy ia ua āy āw ēy ēw īw ōy ōw ūy īa ūa

Composition

  • Proto-Kammalic: kēma, ʈiŋōr, nakkʼē, laupʼē, taɭiŋ, ʈʼāma, rōʈʼē, ɭojʈʼē, pʼakkʼē, qʼeyōr
    • Branch with plosive cyclic shift: 1. s~ts < k < q; q < ʈ < t < ts; (tēma, qinōr, ɳattʼē, ɭaupʼē, ʈaʀin, qʼāma, lōqʼē, ʀojqʼē, pʼattʼē, kʼeyōr)
      • Stress: Stress fell on the first heavy (CVː or CVC) syllable (the last syllable was disregarded); in the absence of a heavy syllable, the stress fell on the third-to-last syllable.
      • Long and short diphthongs merge
      • Beginning of "2nd cycle shift": k > c > s; q > k > c; T > q > k; ŋ > ɲ; N > ŋ; r > l > ɭ > ʀ
      • Umlaut: a e o u > æ i ø y; aa oo uu > ææ øø yy; e i > å ø y; ee ii > øø yy; øw, øj > øy
      • First Khmerization: before geminates
        • Before geminates: aa > ʌʌ, ei > ee, ee > ææ, oo > ɔɔ, ou > oo, øy > øø, øø > əə, ai > ææ, au > ɔɔ, ii > ia, uu > ua
      • Second plosive cycle shift completes; p p' > b p
      • Syncope!
      • Second Khmerization: breathy voice

i > ɪə i
iː > ɘi iː
y > ʏə y
yː > ɘy yː
u > ʊə u
uː > ɘu uː
e > e ɪ
