Modern Varquun is the main surviving descendant of Ancient Varquun.
Sound changes
Sound changes from Ancient Varquun to Modern Varquun:
Initial (h)Vy, (h)Vw- > j, w-
More /h/ loss: Vh > V:
Vowel system changes: /i u a i: u: a: e: o: aj aw/ > /e u ə i ɨ a iə uə ɚ o/
A tone split based on pharyngealization: CˁV > CV(creaky) > CV(high) (hV > V(low), initial V- > V(high))
Postvocalic tʃ, dʒ lenite to ʃ, ʒ; postvocalic ʃ, ʒ lenite to -j
word-final pharyngealized consonants merge with the nonpharyngealized consonants; i and ɨ become lowered to e and o before historical ll
1. adj > àʒ
2. fisj > fèj
3. iyav > íjə̀v
4. ŋŋuzzan > ŋúzə́n
5. túl > tɨ̀l
6. kkayr > kɚ́r
7. bbutja > búʃə̀
8. llíva > wívə̀
9. ulltta > ótə̀
X. yáŋŋu > jàŋú
E. hanay > ə̀nɚ̀
10. kín > kìn
(Also I'll find some way to get pitch accent into Chick Corean)
