< User:Waahlis

Based on the works and the field studies of the linguists John G. Crossing and James Mitchell, there have been many attempts to reconstruct the hypothesised Proto-Jivan language, the supposed ancestor of the Ris and Tsan languages.

Sample

Tsan

  • *ɣ > ɰ
  • *j > j
  • *gʰ > *kʰ > k
  • *g > *k > *kʲ > t͡s
  • *ʈ > tr

Ris

  • *ɣ > *ɰ > j
  • *j > *ɕ > s
  • *gʰ > *kʰ > k
  • *g > k
  • *ʈ > *ɽ > *ɻ > ɹ

Ajami

  • *ɣ > V[+back]/ø
  • *j > *dj > d
  • *gʰ > gʰ
  • *g > g
  • *ʈ > *ʂ > ɕ
