'''Sino-Tiberian''' (漢語 /θáʀ ʕɔ̂/) is a divergent descendant of Old Chinese with a Tiberian Hebrew-inspired phonology. It is the only surviving descendant of Old Chinese that is monosyllabic and tonal. It can be written in the vocalized Hebrew alphabet with cantillation marks for tones.
Numbers:
1 ʔit > אִיט ʔit -
2 ni[j]-s > נִי niH-
3 srum/sram > שָם šåm-
4 s.lij-s > ש‍ִי šiH- or maybe śiH-
5 C.ŋˁaʔ > עָה ȝåX+
6 luk-
7 tsit-
8 hat-
9 kuX- (qoph initial)
10 tgəp > daP- (P is another tone that comes from loss of final p)
