<!-- x(ks) == j, --> | <!-- x(ks) == j, --><!-- ⟨⟩ ɛ ɔ →--> | ||
Middle Ceuja's major sound changes include: | |||
* the diphthongisation of stressed open-mid vowels /ɛ/ and /ɔ/ into /ie/ and /ue/ (⟨ie⟩ and ⟨ue⟩), | |||
* the reanalysis of /je/ as being /ie/ from /ɛ/, leading to /je/ → /e/ in unstressed syllables, | |||
* the establishment of a 5 vowel system, | |||
* the merger of /dj/ and /j/ and fortition of the resulting consonant into a voiced fricative ⟨j⟩ /ʒ/ (⟨g⟩ before front vowels), | |||
* the continued lenition of the plosives, turning the voiced plosives into fricatives (still spelt the same) and the geminated plosives into single ones (e.g. ⟨tt⟩ → ⟨t⟩), | |||
* the merger of /b/ and /w/ (spelt ⟨b⟩ between vowels, and ⟨u⟩ when forming diphthongs). | |||
* a gradual merger of /f/ and /h/ | |||
* a gradual loss of /h/ | |||
For some speakers, /f/ was lost immediately in some words, while for others it persisted as /h/, and for others nothing was lost. | |||

<!-- ll == j --> | Early Modern Ceuja's major sound changes include: | ||
* shifting /ts/ to /θ/ | |||
* a merger of glided /i/ in falling dipthongs with /j/, thus initial ⟨ie⟩ becomes ⟨ye⟩ | |||
* a gradual merger of ⟨x⟩ and ⟨j⟩ (to /ʃ/) | |||
* a gradual merger of ⟨ll⟩ and ⟨y⟩ (to /j/) | |||
* a complete loss of /h/, but speakers still using /f/ did not lose it. | |||
<!-- ll == j --><!-- ⟨⟩ --> | |||

<!-- and then j -> h --> | Late Modern Ceuja makes few additional sound changes to Early Modern Ceuja, but dramatically changes the language by shifting ⟨x ~ j⟩ and ⟨y ~ ll⟩. | ||
<!-- and then j -> h --><!-- ⟨⟩ --> | |||
* debuccalisation of ⟨x ~ j⟩ to /x/ | |||
* fortition of ⟨y ~ ll⟩ to a voiced fricative /ʒ/ | |||
