Ancient Sohcahtoan, contrary to its more widely spoken descendant, uses the structure of '''(C)V(C)''' for syllables, which is quite different from modern [[Sohcahtoan]]'s '''(C)V''' syllabic structure. | Ancient Sohcahtoan, contrary to its more widely spoken descendant, uses the structure of '''(C)V(C)''' for syllables, which is quite different from modern [[Sohcahtoan]]'s '''(C)V''' syllabic structure. | ||
Additionally, the [ɾ] sound can only be succeeded by a vowel, hence the word ''kãkã''-'''''rã''''' does not fit in the (C)V(C) structure. | |||

Most words in Ancient Sohcahtoan originate in [[w:Proto-Japonic|Proto-Japonic]]. Indeed, there are many similarities between the two languages; both languages have the [ə] sound, which other languages that derive from Proto-Japonic lost(and indeed, modern [[Sohcahtoan]] also lost the [ə] sound). | |||
