MW s and ʂ will merge into sch
*Te:lita 'blood' -> *ʂeˁ:ha -> szya
actually i can get away with <nj> for /ɲ/
/ʂəa/
should i have diphthong mergers?
əa -> ɨa
/ʂɨa/ sounds a little vietnamese
for vowels I might keep MW vowels except /æ æː/ and /ɑ ɑː/ merge into /a aː/
for vowels I might keep MW vowels except /æ æː/ and /ɑ ɑː/ merge into /a aː/


it'll be like hungarian
or german!
ei, soom, teenzed, śiim, etadźóór, mea
(this language may not be Partartian)
i don't like using the name Partartian for a language that turned ʈ into cz
i have to reinterpret /ja je iːa jaː wa wo uːa waː ɥa ɥø yːa ɥaː/ into Vr
i have to reinterpret /ja je iːa jaː wa wo uːa waː ɥa ɥø yːa ɥaː/ into Vr


nice!

what about /əː/?
what about /əː/?
i'll merge it with /aː/
i'll merge it with /aː/


yes
i might write the /aː/ from /əː/ as <ahr>
i might write the /aː/ from /əː/ as <ahr>
since /əː/ actually derives from R-rimes (after phar'd vowels)
I should have a Partartic language that keeps ʈ (just because of the name)
it'll do something else with h
tone in !xashen:
i might have 4 to 6
probably just 4
!xashen still looks like german with a philly accent (it's conservative)
Qaschen?
that should be monosyllabic actually
i might have final -j and -w


Qasch?
something like Qei?

Nàu m̌ dwēig Qěi-Mēung. 'I don't speak Wirne.'

Introduction

Wirne (Ŧaƨƨen-Müđel; pronounced Qěi-Mēung /qaɪ212 mɔʏŋ55/) is a relatively conservative Wiebian lect descended from Middle Wiebian. It is a tonal language inspired by German and Buyang.

Phonology

Consonants

m mʷ n nʷ ɲ ŋ ŋʷ <m mw n nw ñ ng ngw>
p pʷ t tʷ tʃ k kʷ q qʷ <b bw d dw dsch g gw ġ ġw>

pʰ pʷʰ tʰ tʷʰ tʃʰ kʰ kʷʰ qʰ qʷʰ


f θ θʷ ʃ ʃʷ x xʷ χ χʷ <f z zw sch schw ch chw r rw>
ð ðʷ
w̥ <hw>
l j w <l j w>

for vowels I might keep MW vowels except /æ æː/ and /ɑ ɑː/ merge into /a aː/

i have to reinterpret /ja je iːa jaː wa wo uːa waː ɥa ɥø yːa ɥaː/ into Vr

> err, irr, ier, ehr, orr, urr, uhr, ohr, örr, ürr, ühr, öhr?
what about /əː/?
i'll merge it with /aː/

i might write the /aː/ from /əː/ as <ahr>

/j/ /w/ <-j -w> (ai and au are true nuclei)

qei sounds good
Partartian will have breathy voice btw
i'll give the rzaimy-like language a different name
final fricative > breathy (with compensatory lengthening) > falling tone
Qêi

there's no glottalized tone class unlike in RW (treated the same as breathy tone)
(high, low ) x (modal, breathy) = 4 tones

nice
maybe 4 tones as in mandarin

high modal = tone 2, high breathy = tone 3; low modal = tone 4, low breathy = tone 1
