Shalaian has 36 consonants, much more than Proto-[[Idavic]]. However, Shalaian consonants are fairly conservative; they preserve the basic structure of Proto-Shalaian consonant system. Shalaian has merged older /l/ and /ʕ/ into a uvular liquid /ʟ/. Loss of Proto-Idavic stød has resulted in a coda consonant split, almost doubling the number of phonemic consonants. | Shalaian has 36 consonants, much more than Proto-[[Idavic]].
