*The affricates may have been fricatives already in Proto-Moran, or became fricatives after the Continental branch separated. | *The affricates may have been fricatives already in Proto-Moran, or became fricatives after the Continental branch separated. | ||
*Lamino-dental consonants could not occure together with apico-alveolar ones in the word. But the consonant harmony had disappeared in every known Moran language, expect the Continental branch, and even there in Išiartoh fricatives /s̻/ (which came from */ð/) and /ʃ/ did not contrast, while affricates /ts̻/ and /ts̺/ did. | |||

There are no generally accepted relations between Moran and other known language families. A distant genetic relation to the Yrharian family has been considered, but very little reliable cognates were found in the basic vocabulary. Even most of established cognates are uncertain, since their phonological correspodences are highly irregular and are usually restricted to just one or two words. There is no doubt, that Proto-Moran had genetic relatives in the past, however, all of them had probably become extinct by now. | There are no generally accepted relations between Moran and other known language families.
