Proto-Wakanic is reconstructed with the following sounds: | |||
* The voiceless stops *p (labial), *t (dental), *c (palatal), *k (velar) and *kʷ (labialized velar). The Verapamil reflexes of these sounds are the fricatives ''f'', ''s'', ''hy'', ''h'' and ''hw'' respectively. In Diltiazem, these sounds surface as voiceless aspirated stops, except for *c which becomes ''t̂'' /θ/. | |||
* The voiced stops *b (labial), *d (dental), *j́ (palatal), *g (velar) and *gʷ (labialized velar), which become the stops ''p'', ''t'', ''ty'', ''c'' and ''qu'' respectively in Verapamil. In Diltiazem, these sounds surface as voiced stops, except for *j́ which becomes ''ĥ'' /x/. | |||
* The nasals *m and *n, and the approximants *j, *l and *r, which are retained in Verapamil and Diltiazem. | |||
* *w and *ŋ, which become ''v'' and ''w'' in Verapamil respectively (but /ŋ/ is retained before *k and *g in Verapamil) | |||
