Phonology

AW inventory

Ancient Wiebian:
ɪ iː ʏ yː ʊ uː
ɛ eː œ øː ɔ oː
a aː
ɪɐ iːɐ ʏɐ yːɐ ʊɐ uːɐ
ɛɐ eːɐ œɐ øːɐ ɔɐ oːɐ
aɐ aːɐ
aʊ aɪ ɔʏ
aʊɐ aɪɐ ɔʏɐ
ə
AW > Pre-MW:
ɪɐ iːɐ > iɐ, ʏɐ yːɐ > yɐ, ʊɐ uːɐ > uɐ, aɐ a:ɐ > aɐ
ai > əi / _(voiceless) (after AV)
au > əʊ / _(voiceless) (I'm canadian raising au)
ɔʏ > əʏ / _(voiceless) (I'm canadian raising au)
a aː > æ æː
l > ʟ / V[+stress]_
əl > ʊ in unstressed syllables

i don't have some of these diphthongs yet/anymore
a-umlaut
e i o u ø y > æ e ɑ o æ ø
ee ii oo øø uu yy > ja je wa ɥa wo ɥø

u-umlaut
a e i > o ø y
aa ee ii > oo øø yy
now, r-rimes go haywire
actually
before that there's the GVS (only after unphar'd C)
ææ > ee
ee > ii
ii > ai
oo > uu
øø > yy
uu > au
yy > oy
that's too much "ai"'s
something should happen before that
maybe
ai > ee
aw > ɑɑ
ay > øø

aw->oo?
perhaps
ai > ee
aw > oo
ay > øø
then, r-rimes gone mad
iɐ̯ eɐ̯ > jia
ɛɐ̯ > jaa
uɐ̯ oɐ̯ > wua
ɔɐ̯ > waa
yɐ̯ > ɥya
øɐ̯ > ɥaa
aɐ̯ > aa

ɥya?
perhaps
iɐ̯ eɐ̯ > ja
ɛɐ̯ > jaa
uɐ̯ oɐ̯ > wa
ɔɐ̯ > waa
yɐ̯ > ɥa
øɐ̯ > ɥaa
aɐ̯ > aa

actually

i think ɥya is ok

it's just the front counterpart of wua
ˁe > ˁæ
ˁi > ˁe
ˁo > ˁɑ
ˁu > ˁo
ˁy > ˁø
ˁæ > ˁɑ

ˁaa > ˁɑɑ
ˁee > ˁai
ˁoo > ˁau
ˁii > ˁei
ˁuu > ˁou
ˁyy > ˁøy
ˁai > ˁai
ˁau > ˁau
ˁɔy > ˁay

ˁVɐ̯ > ˁəa (if V != a)
ˁaɐ̯ > ˁaa
then, tone split eliminates pharyngealization

and no great vowel shift
yes
This yields the following inventory in Late Middle Wiebian:
æ e i ɑ o ø u y
ja je wa ɥa wo ɥø
ɑɑ aa ee ii oo øø yy
ai au ay ei ou øy
jia jaa wua waa ɥya ɥaa əa əaa
actually i don't think i need əaa
əaa comes from the same conditions that would yield jaa, waa, yaa
əaa > aa
æ e i ɑ o ø u y
ja je wa ɥa wo ɥø
ɑɑ aa ee ii oo øø yy
ai au ay ei ou øy
jia jaa wua waa ɥya ɥaa əa
i think I have uu actually
oo > uu from the GVS
ei > i:, ou > u:, øy > y:

ɑ æ e i o ø u y
ɑ: æ: e: ə: i: o: ø: u: y:
ja je iia jaa
wa wo uua waa
ɥa ɥø yya ɥaa
ai au ay
