'''{{PAGENAME}}''' is the ancestor language of [[Reber Wiebian|Reber]], [[Zwehrer]] and [[Gaufian|Gauf Wiebian]] lects.
==Introduction==
==Orthography==
Old Kurmian is inspired by Old Irish.
:''See also: [[Wiebian/Script]].''


==Historical phonology==
==Sound changes==
===AW inventory===
AW: ie /i/ üh /y/ uh /u/ i /ɪ/ ü /ʏ/ u /ʊ/ e /ɛ/ ö /œ/ o /ɔ/ a /æ/ ei /ä/ ah /ɒ/ au /æʊ/ eu /ɔɪ/ eh /ɛɪ/ öh /œʏ/ oh /ɔʊ/ ir /iɻ/ ür /yɻ/ ur /uɻ/ er /ɛɻ/ ör /œɻ/ or /ɔɻ/ ar /äɻ/
<poem>
Ancient Wiebian:
i iː ʉ ʉː u
e eː ə ɵː o
ɛ ɔː
ɐ aː
aʊ ɵɪ aɪ iɐ ʉɐ uɐ


</poem>
æ, ä, ɒ, i, y, u, ɪ, ʏ, ʊ, ɛ, œ, ɔ, æʊ, ɔɪ, ɛɪ, œʏ, ɔʊ, iɻ, yɻ, uɻ, ɛɻ/œɻ, ɔɻ, äɻ > jæ, æ, ɑ, ji, ju, u, je, jə, wə, jə, ə, ə, jɑ, we, e, jwe, ow, jiə, jwa, wa, jow, ow, ɑ
 
===Sound changes===
====AW > Pre-OZw====
*Vʀɐ > Vɐ
*ɪɐ iːɐ > iɐ, ʏɐ yːɐ > yɐ, ʊɐ uːɐ > uɐ, aɐ a:ɐ > aɐ
Some Philly-style changes:
*ai > əi / _(voiceless) (after AV)
*au >  əʊ / _(voiceless)
*ɔʏ >  əʏ / _(voiceless)
*əl > ʊ in unstressed syllables
 
====Initial changes====
*ts > s
*Cv > Cw
*Pr Br Fr r > ʈ ɖ ʂ ʐ
=====Aspiration=====
*sp/pf sb st sd sʈ sɖ s! sg! sk sg > pʰ bʰ tʰ dʰ ʈʰ ɖʰ !ʰ g!ʰ kʰ gʰ
*sv sz > wʰ s
*sm sn > mʰ nʰ
 
=====Séimhiú=====
*Vp Vb Vt Vd Vʈ Vɖ V! Vg! Vk Vg > f v θ ð ʂ ʐ ɧ ɧ̬ x ɣ
*Vf Vv Vs Vz > ʔ ɦ h ɦ
*Vm Vl > v j
*aspirated consonants mutate the same as non-aspirated ones, except: mʰ > wʰ, nʰ > nʰ, lʰ > wʰ, wʰ > wʰ
 
=====Urú=====
*np nb nt nd nʈ nɖ n! ng! nk ng > b m d n ɖ ɳ g! ŋ! g ŋ
*nf ns nɧ > v z ɧ̬
*nsm nsn > m n
*nsp nst nsʈ ns! (nsk) > mʰ nʰ ɳʰ ŋʰ! ŋʰ
*nsl > l
=====Pharyngealization split=====
*Cl, Cʀ > Cˁ
*s-ʀ > hˁ, ʀ > ʔˁ
 
=====Other changes=====
*v > w
 
====Pre-OZw > OZw====
*a aː > æ æː
*ɛ i ɔ u œ y > æ e ɑ o æ ø / _Cɐ
*ɛː eː iː ɔː oː øː uː yː > ɛː eː ɔː œː oː øː / _Cɐ
*a e i ø y > ɔ ø y o u / _Cʊ
*aː ɛː eː iː ɔː øː yː> ɔː œː øː yː oː oː uː / _Cʊ
*final ɐ, ʊ lost
*ai aw ay > eː oː øː
*iɐ̯ > iːa
*uɐ̯ > uːa
*yɐ̯ > yːa
*œɐ̯ > œː
*aɐ̯ > æː
*ˁæ ˁe ˁi ˁo ˁø ˁu ˁy > ˁɑ ˁæ ˁe ˁɑ ˁæ ˁo ˁø
*ˁæː ˁeː ˁiː ˁoː ˁøː ˁuː ˁyː > ˁɑː ˁay ˁey ˁaw ˁoy ˁow ˁoy
*ˁaɐ̯ > ˁaː > ˁɑː
*eː iː oː uː øː yː > iː ai uː aw yː oy (GVS)
*əa > əː
*əi əu əy (both pharyngealized and unpharyngealized) > iː uː yː
 
====AW > OZw finals====
*cluster ending in fricative > breathy tone, cluster lost w/ compensatory lengthening
*cluster ending in plosive > glottalized tone, cluster lost w/ compensatory lengthening
*-w results from the first consonant in the final being a labial (unless final is single /-p/)
*-j results from /ç, ɧ/ as the first consonant
