 <!-- Explain the consonant clusters and vowel clusters that are permissible for use in the language. For example, "st" is an allowed consonant cluster in English while onset "ng" isn't. -->
 ===Morphophonology===
+The following phonological transformations occur in certain environments:
+====First palatalization====
+*t > c
+*d > dz
+*þ > s
+*ð > z
+*s > š
+*z > ž
+*k > č
+*g (as /ɡ/) > dž
+*g (as /ɣ/) > ž
+*h > š
+<!--

+|+ 1st palatalization
+! Consonant !! Result
+|-
+|
+|-->
+====Second palatalization====
+*n > ň
+*l > ľ
+*r > ř
+====U-Umlaut====
+*a > o
+*ă > u
+*â > u
+====I-Umlaut====
+*a > e
+*ă > i
+*â > i
+*jo, ju > i
+*After palatalized consonants: o > i
+*Otherwise: o > e
+*u > i
+====Disappearing ''-g-''====
+*Some verbs have a medial ''-g-'' that appears in certain environments and disappear in others.
+====Disappearing ''-j-, -v-,'' and palatalization====
+*Some verbs, nouns, and adjectives have a final ''-j-'' or ''-v-'' or a palatalization of the final consonant which appear before vowels but are lost in other environments.
+====Dental past suffix====
+The dental past suffix varies between ''-t-, -d-,'' and ''-ð-'' depending on the context.

 <!-- How do the words in your language look? How do you derive words from others? Do you have cases? Are verbs inflected? Do nouns differ from adjectives? Do adjectives differ from verbs? Etc. -->
