Many sound changes in the central Norroman tradition involve reducing consonant clusters and introducing a CVCV(C)-esque structure to the language. While there is variation dialectally, for example reduced nasalisation of vowels and fairly intact nasal consonants, the result is that most dialects prevent clusters between non-sonorant units; even these though have been threatened by overall trends in phonological change. However, vowel reduction and devoicing has resulted in a new set of pseudo-clusters emerging in normal speech for many speakers, much like with Japanese. | Many sound changes in the central Norroman tradition involve reducing consonant clusters and introducing a CVCV(C)-esque structure to the language.
