This new work in Minhast historical linguistics, lead by Dr. Michael P. Harrison (an old pupil of the Minhast scholar Prof. Dr. Yoshi Hisakawa), and the subsequent revision of the internal splits into the different dialect groups gave place to the term ''"Minhastic Languages"'' as a way to address the whole group, owing to 1) the noticeable differences between the fringe dialects of the already established ''dialect continua'' and 2) the greater differences present in those dialects which had drifted apart from the rest earlier on, the paramount case of the latter being the CSD itself.

Some canon about the relationship between Ryu-Kyu and Minhay:
Q: What's the situation of Minhay and the Ryu-Kyu Islands around 1900? I'm interested in that.
A: I haven't gotten to that point yet :p
I know that the naval blockade that the Kingdom of Koguryeo imposed on Yamato is going to affect, and perhaps prevent trade with Minhay during the 1900's, up until 2015 when Koguryeo finally annexed all of Kyushu and southern Honshu, and the Ainu taking over the rest of Honshu. Most likely Ryukyu will withdraw into isolation to avoid getting in the cross-fire between Yamato and Koguryeo.
Q: Oh, interesting! But up until right before this turn of events they had contact, or?
A: TBH Ryukyu wasn't on my radar, but that was because I hadn't made certain important developments with the Gull Speakers. But now that I'm starting to work on that, trade with the Minhast has to be done through the Gull Speakers only. The Salmon and Osprey Speakers are basically out of range, and the Stone Speakers and Horse Speakers can't float a boat (they're landlocked anyway). I'm kinda leaning towards the Gull Speakers being competitors as opposed to trading partners with Ryukyu, simply because they target the same markets and share the same trading partners. So there is contact, but whether it is competitive or cooperative (I don't intend for it to be military though - I want military conflict to be between the Stone Speakers and Gull Speakers), I haven't yet decided.

=== Syllabic Structure and Phonemic Interactions ===
=== Syllabic Structure and Phonemic Interactions ===


As it is the case in Minhast, words are subject to complex morphophonemic changes resulting from interactions with other morphemes occurring in the word. The verb is particularly complex in the various sound changes that may occur as a result of noun incorporation as well as the agglutinative processes involved in conjugation and other inflectional processes. These phonemic changes can be broken down according to the following classifications:

The verb is particularly complex in the various sound changes that may occur as a result of noun incorporation as well as the agglutinative processes involved in conjugation and other inflectional processes. These phonemic changes happening are assimilation, metathesis, syncope, epenthesis, voicing/devoicing and aspiration.

<small>* ''The phoneme'' /ɺ/ ''has two environmentally conditioned realizations: one more lateral, labeled'' [l]'', and one more rhotic, labeled'' [r]''. A more generally backed environment (mainly the vicinity of back vowels) triggers the lateral realization, while otherwise the realization is mostly rhotic. This table shows the interactions of the resulting realizations with other phonemes, and are treated as if they were themselves phonemes for presentational purposes.'' </small>
