Principle Sound Changes

Initial Sound Changes

  • Accent system becomes more like English
  • Unstressed vowels undergo reduction
  • /falánxe/ → /fəlanxə/ → /flanx/
  • /leŋgwa/ → /leŋgwə/ → /leŋgʷ/
  • /ɟʝéɾβa/ → /ɟʝeɾβə/ → /ɟʝeɾβ/
  • /gwáɾða/ → /gwaɾðə/ → /gwaɾð/
  • /béɾɣa/ → /beɾɣə/ → /beɾɣ/
  • /estáðo/ → /əstaðə/ → /stað/
  • /aβáð/ > /əβað/ > /βað/
If a stressed vowel is preceded directly by an unstressed one, the unstressed one will change into a semivowel.
  • /reál/ → /rjal/
For derivation purposes, the vowel at the end of a word may reappear, creating doublets later on. Either that or dialectal splits based on the final vowel while it still existed have been propagated into late stages of the language unnoticed
  • /-al, -alə/ → /-aj, -an/
  • Consonant clusters are simplified
  • Nasal vowels appear
  • /flanx/ → /flãx/
  • /leŋgʷ/ → /lẽgʷ/
  • Debuccalisation of voiceless fricatives next consonants with more closure that are opposite the nucleus
  • /flãx/ → /hlãx/, eventually resulting in /l̥ʰãx/
  • /stað/ → /htað/
  • /estɾétʃo/ → /htɾetʃ/ → /htɾeth/
  • Syllable final preconsonantal /ɾ/ and /l/ become /ˡ ʲ ᵟ or ᵨ/ because I lack a decent symbol.
  • /ɟʝeɾβ/ → /ɟʝeᵟβ/
  • /gwaɾð/ → /gwaᵟð/
  • Nasal vowels change quality
  • /hlãx/ → /hlaʷx/ → /hlaxʷ/
  • /leŋgʷ/ → /leᵚgʷ/ → /legʷ/

Early Sound Changes

  • /ð/, /β/, /ɣ/ and /ʝ/ are weakened, but still written
  • /ɟʝeᵟβ/ → /ɟʝeᵝ/
  • /gwaᵟð/ → /gwaᵟ/
  • /beᵟɣ/ → /beˤ/
  • /réʝ/ → /reʲ/
  • hC → Cʰ
  • /hlaxʷ/ → /l̥ʰaxʷ/
  • /htað/ → /tʰaᵟ/
  • /estɾétʃo/ → /htɾetʃ/ → /ɾ̊ʰetʰ/
  • /feráɾi/ → /hraɾ/ → /r̊ʰaɾ/
  • Palatalisation of /l/ before front vowels
  • /legʷ/ → /jegʷ/
  • Fortition and subsequent delateralisation of /l/ before back vowels
  • /láɾɣo/ → /daˤ/
  • Lateralisation of /ɾ/ and /r/
  • /reʲ/ → /leʲ/
  • xʷ becomes f
  • /hlaxʷ/ → /hlaf/

Middle Sound Changes

  • Final /l/ becomes /j/ and final /ɾ/ becomes /n/
  • real → /rəʲal/ → /ljal/ → /ljaj/
  • real-V → /rəʲalə/ → /ljaɾə/ → /ljan/
  • perro → /per/ → /perə → /pea/ ~ /peˤ/
  • The original Spanish plosives now form a Pʰ, P, B, β paradigm
  • Pʰ > P
  • P > B
  • B > F (except finally, where they merge with P)
  • β > β/W (it's complicated...)
These last two categories might be better off switched or conditional on the environment e.g. H, depends on what happens to preexisting /f/ etc.
Thus: espacio > pæθ; perro > beˤ; verga > feˤ; abad > βaᵟ.
