=== Cuam ===
A Southern Chinese/SEA language in the Cuamic family; influences the Scandinavian-inspired Chinese lect
Hmooberno-Thai
Initials: all Irish single consonants plus prenasalized stops and sh(n/l/r)-; allow br dr gr fr cr tr bl dl gl fl cl tl; p- only occurs in borrowings; stops are +asp/-asp like in Scottish Gaelic
shm- is only used in so-called ''shm''-reduplication
Séimhiú should have different outcomes from Irish
In unmutated words, all Irish unmutated initials + séimhiúed initials are permissible
séimhiúed words can't séimhiú again, but when they get urúed it manifests as prenasalization:
* ''**CV-(initial) > (lexically séimhiúed initial)''
* ''**-n CV-(initial) > n:(initial) > nC (prenasalized initial)''
Vowels: all combos of +-pal x vowel allowed in Irish (assuming broad final)
Allowed finals: -d -g -idh (-j) -imh (nasalization + -j) -bh (-w) -mh (nasalization + -w) -m -n -il -r
Tones are essentially the same as in Thai:
* "Dead syllables" (checked):
** short vowel: a¹ a² (low high)
** long vowel; á¹ á² (low falling)
* "Live syllables" (non-checked): long: á¹ á² á³ á⁴ á⁵ (mid low falling high rising, as in Thai)
entering tone syllables (open short vowel, or d/g final)  can only take a and à tones
forbids shm- like Irish but unlike Tigolic
absolute state is sometimes a floating mutating morpheme that marks gender (marks absolute state, construct state doesn't mutate). Sometimes absolute state manifests as a separate preposed word or syllable which may or may not mutate the word itself. (absolute state comes from a preceding classifier)
1-10: leidh¹, nán², feó¹, tlud¹, daimh⁵, án², ciúr³, shnán², shleidh¹, faoil²
==== Diachronics ====
Some "possible" syllables should be disallowed bc of historical sound change, like unasp stop initial + nasal coda + 2nd tone syllables in Mandarin
Before having mutations, Cuam had long, short and ultrashort vowels. Mutations come from preceding ultrashort syllables that are lost; this came before the medieval Sinosphere register/tone split affecting most languages in the Sinosphere, resulting in mutation depending on tone. This earlier, very complex system of mutations got simplified into noun genders by analogy.
