 ===Vocalic changes===
-The Atlantic vocalic system was formed through an evolution that, while with many common elements with other Romance languages, was unique in having kept long and short {{IPA|/a/}} distinct, the former shifting to {{IPA|/ɑ/}} and later merging with surviving instances of {{IPA|/ɔ/}}. Otherwise, the development of vowels was much like Sicilian, as the table below hints:

 Note that original Latin long ''a'' only merged with ''o'' later, and never underwent vowel breaking.
-====Metaphony====
-Metaphony occurs in a very limited environment, that is, as the result of original non-syllabic {{IPA|/i/}} in the {{IPA|[pja bja mja]}} sequences. The {{IPA|/i/}} disappears, raising a preceding {{IPA|[a ɛ ɔ]}} to {{IPA|[ɛ i u]}} respectively. It is most commonly encountered in subjunctive verb forms:
-* <small>CAMBIAM</small> → *cʲambjã > ''cemba'' "I change (subj.)"
-* <small>RAPIAM</small> → *rapjã > ''repa'' "I steal (subj.)"
-* <small>DORMIAM</small> → *dormjã > ''durma'' "I sleep (subj.)"
