| '''Proto-Wiobic''' is the common ancestor of [[Tsjoen]] and [[Wiobian]], as well as other Wiobic languages.

| ===Vowels===
| |
| Fewer vowels than modern Wiobian or Tsjoen; vowel length was contrastive, as in Proto-Germanic.

| There were also six diphthongs, '''ai au ia ua eu iu'''.
| |
| | |
| ===Phonotactics===
| |
| The syllable structure is (C)(C)V(C). In addition, clusters of two consonants are allowed word-finally. Short vowels + no coda is OK unlike in Germanic and Khmer.
| |
| | |
| There are virtually no restrictions on consonant clusters, except:
| |
| *An obstruent may not follow a nasal.
| |
| | |
| ===Proto-Wiobic to Tsjoen===
| |
| *prenasalized stops → voiced stops; -mp -nt ... > -mb -nd ... word finally
| |
| **similarly, mf ns > v z
| |
| *þ > t
| |
| *ť ď > ts z
| |
| *ň > j

| *ř > zj for sure

| *š > sj?
