===Phonotactics===
<small>The macron is not considered entirely necessary by this point in the language's development, due to the slow-but-sure collapse of the vowel length system and its replacement with one based on stress and syllable structure.</small>
 
===Examples of Sound Change===
Note that the above rules are not entirely regular, as you will see below.
* <small>PIE</small> *deywós > <small>PII</small> *daiwá- > <small>MDY</small> dewa
* <small>PIE</small> *dn̥ǵʰwéh₂s > <small>Pre-PII</small> *ǵnǵʰwéh₂s > <small>PII</small> *ĵiĵʰwa- > <small>MDY</small> jihwa (jijhwa)
* <small>PIE</small> *ph₂tēr > <small>PII</small> *pitā́r > <small>MDY</small> pitar (pitā)
* <small>PIE</small> *bʰeh₂tēr > <small>PII</small> *bhrā́tār > <small>MDY</small> bratar (brātār)
* <small>PIE</small> *dék̂m̥  > <small>PII</small> *dáĉa > <small>MDY</small> daśa (dasha)
* <small>PIE</small> *h2r̥tk̂os > <small>PII</small> *r̥kša-> <small>MDY</small> rksha

*Whenever a+i appears, it tends to form ae, except in loanwords, and rare cases
 
*Whenever a+u appears, it tends to form o, except in loanwords, and in rare cases (where it will for "ao" in writing)
*Many vowels can shift according to position, or subsequent vowels. In some dialects, subtle vowel harmony or umlauting may occur
*In many dialects there is a tendency to reduce consonant clusters, however, there is no strict rule against them in Medyachi, but since Medyachi is dictated by things popular in the other dialects, it has no real sway on the issue
* L historically has been marginally used, but remains in the language for reasons unknown/unexplained
