Tumacan is a grammatically conservative descendant of Old Bhadhagha, spoken near the Tumaca Mountains.

Phonology

/b d dʒ g/ are devoiced to (unaspirated) [p t c k] in all positions.
ch > š
/n, ʟ, ɾ/ distinguish between "fortis" or unlenited [n̪, ɫ, r] and "lenis" or lenited [ð̞̃, ʀ, z].
th, dh are [ħ, z] word-initially and become [h, z] word-finally.
/ʉ, ɵ/ are always fully back [uː, oː].

m > b

grammatical mutation: just lenition - or no mutation at all?

ph bh fh mh th dh sh ch gh > f v f m ħ d š ç j

N L R / n l r > [n̪, ɫ, r] / [ð̞̃, ʀ, z].

the current consonant system: m n ng ph th kh p t k b d f s š ç H h v (nasalized δ) z R r l j

Tumacan retains some Old Bhadhagha diphthongs - and has altered some of them.

Most importantly, Tumacan retains Old Bhadhagha final vowel qualities instead of reducing final vowels like Bhadhagha.

Tumacan retains the Old Bhadhagha possessive suffixes.

tumaca could have b-prefixation (lenition or b-) only when there's a direct object

ní on the other hand doesnt trigger lenition (it didn't in OT)
