===Old Shumian===

Old Shumian had a much simpler sound system, with fewer consonants and no tones.

Shumian is mostly isolating. There's one exception though, which is that the first consonant of the possessor in a genitive phrase is aspirated (unless it's /r/, /j/, or a fricative).
Shum is completely isolating and head-initial.


* ''ṇā̀'' (I), ''mäi'' (boat) ⇒ ''ṇā̀ mhäi'' (my boat)
* ''tlan'' (I), ''mhais'' (boat) ⇒ ''mhais tlan'' (my boat)
* ''rúm'' (eye), ''be'' (water) ⇒ ''rúm bhe'' (tears)
* ''ruub'' (eye), ''be'' (water) ⇒ ''be ruub'' (tears)


It derives from the genitive suffix ''*-s'' in Old Shumian. These phrases in Old Shumian would be:
===Pronouns===


* ''nrao'' (I), ''mati'' (boat) ⇒ ''nraos mati'' (my boat)
Shum pronouns are based on rank, not person or gender. (''tlan'' is used only in textbooks)
* ''rump'' (eye), ''bel'' (water) ⇒ ''rumps bel'' (tears)

Word order is SVO; adjectives and relative clauses come before nouns; there are postpositions instead of prepositions; determiners and classifiers are placed before the noun; complementizers are head-initial.
