Compared to Classical Windermere, Classical Tseer has more conservative vowels but less conservative in consonants. | |||
Unlike Windermere, Tseer vocalized some laryngeals in clusters, namely *Q and *f. | |||
Vocalized *f, vowels which were colored by *f, and u-umlaut of /a/ and /e/ are the main sources of /ø/ in Tseer. | |||
The laryngeals *X ("far laryngeal") and *H ("near laryngeal") produced breathy vowels, which eventually became nasal vowels. (In Ashanic, *f functions as the far laryngeal.) | |||
*Nasal vowels merge with nonnasal vowels before m/n/ng/l | *Nasal vowels merge with nonnasal vowels before m/n/ng/l | ||
*Final -ng disappears leaving nasalization (as in Skellan) | *Final -ng disappears leaving nasalization (as in Skellan) | ||
