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:, mh, nh, ŋh, lh, rh > mm, nn, ŋŋ, ll, rr
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/
