==Phonology==
==Idea==
===Consonants===
Hiberno-Arabic (emphatic vs. palatalized; a ā i ī u ū)
*/b d dʒ g/ are devoiced to (unaspirated) [p t c k] in all positions.
*ch > š
*/n, ʟ, ɾ/ distinguish between "fortis" or unlenited [n̪, ɫ, r] and "lenis" or lenited [ð̞̃, ʀ, z].
*''th, dh'' are [ħ, z] word-initially and become [h, z] word-finally.
*/ʉ, ɵ/ are always fully back [uː, oː].
 
m > b
 
grammatical mutation: just lenition
 
ph bh fh mh th dh sh ch gh > f v f m ħ d š ç j
 
N L R / n l r > [n̪, ɫ, r] / [ð̞̃, ʀ, z].
 
the current consonant system:
m n ng
ph th kh
p t k
b d
f s š ç H h
v (nasalized δ) z R
r l j
 
===Vowels===
Tumacan retains some Old Bhadhagha diphthongs - and has altered some of them.
 
Most importantly, Tumacan retains Old Bhadhagha final vowel qualities instead of reducing final vowels like [[Bhadhagha]].
 
a e i o u > a ə i o u
 
á é í ó ú > oa ei í ou iu
 
ai ei io oi ui > ä e i e i
 
ae ao ái éi eó éu ia ío íu iú ói oí ua úi uí
> á au á ei ea au ia io í ú oi əi ua ú əi
 
==Morphology==
===Nouns===
Tumacan retains construct state and the [[Old Bhadhagha]] possessive suffixes.
 
*''boaz'', ''im boaz'', ''báze'' - tree, the tree, tree of
*''báza'', ''na báza'', ''bázan'' - trees, the trees, trees of
 
possessed forms:
*''bázen''
*''bázes''
*''bázu''
*''bázi''
*''bázam''
*''bázat''
*''bázak''
*''bázaz''
 
===Verbs===
tumaca could have b-prefixation (lenition or b-) only when there's a direct object
 
ní on the other hand doesnt trigger lenition (it didn't in OT)
 
*1sg: túsain > tiusen
*2sg: túsair > tiusez
*3sg: tús > tius (not pro-drop)
*1pl.exc: túsaiṁ > tiusem
*1pl.inc: túsait > tiused
*2pl: túsaisc > tiuseš
*3pl: tiusa or tiusai (not used with non-pronominal subjects)
