Idosian is unusual among Tsimulh languages in that it natively has a liquid consonant /ɹ/, whereas Proto-Tsimulh and most other Tsimulh languages do not natively have liquids. Idosian gained /ɹ/ via [[w:Linking and intrusive R#Intrusive R|R-intrusion]], influenced by an [[Old Shalian]] substrate; /ɹ/ may even occur word-initially (coming from words with null initial). | Idosian is unusual among Tsimulh languages in that it natively has a liquid consonant /ɹ/, whereas Proto-Tsimulh and most other Tsimulh languages do not natively have liquids.
