Phonology
Consonants
Perhaps most strikingly, most Kammalic languages are devoid of fricatives or aspirates. The following is the consonant inventory of Proto-Kammalic, arguably the most divergent of all of Pfeuno-Kitelucquian:
Labial | Dental | Retroflex | Palatal | Velar | Uvular | ||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Nasal | m /m/ | n /n/ | rn /ɲ/ | ng /ŋ~ɴ/ | |||
Plosive | plain | p /p~b/ | t /t~d/ | rt /ʈ~ɖ/ | k /k~g/ | q /q~ɢ/ | |
ejective | pʼ /pʼ/ | tʼ /tʼ/ | rtʼ /ʈʼ/ | kʼ /kʼ/ | qʼ /qʼ/ | ||
Trill | r /r/ | ||||||
Approximant | w /w/ | l /l/ | y /j/ |
Vowels
Front | Central | Back | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
short | long | short | long | short | long | |
Close | i /i/ | í /iː/ | u /u/ | ú /uː/ | ||
Close-mid | e /e~ə/ | é /eː/ | o /o/ | ó /oː/ | ||
Open | a /a/ | á /aː/ |
Composition
one descendant will turn them into geminates and another turns them into ejectives
and some with both geminates and ejectivs
one descendent should have overlong consonants and overlong vowels written with triple consonants and triple vowels
and one outlier with fricatives! (via grimm's law: p' > p, p > f) the outlier with fricatives should also have syncope
