+====Proto-Uralic====
+Proto-Uralic has considerably more vowels (by quality, rather than quantity) than any other language described on this page. Uralic may have had consonant gradation processes. /x/ is an unknown in terms of phonation and role, and could likely be from the lenition of /k/ or like a PIE laryngeal. CVCCVC is the most complex clusters may be. Phonetic, but not phonemic, diphthongs can arise via -j or -w.
