* Outside verbs and gerunds, in coda position, there was a chain shift from /k/ to /g/ to a new /ŋ/, which became phonemic when Zoki imported numerous words containing /ŋ/ from other languages in Southeast Asia. | * Outside verbs and gerunds, in coda position, there was a chain shift from /k/ to /g/ to a new /ŋ/, which became phonemic when Zoki imported numerous words containing /ŋ/ from other languages in Southeast Asia. | ||
* In some dialects of late Old Zoki, the voiced and voiceless stops (velar, alveolar, and bilabial) chain-shifted universally to voiceless and voiceless aspirated under areal influence, e.g. */b/ > /p/ > /pʰ/. Dialect mixing caused these dialects to re-import the more conservative pronunciations in certain consonantal roots, but not others, and these hybrid pronunciations then spread, leading to new phonemic distinctions between all three series of stops. | * In some dialects of late Old Zoki, the voiced and voiceless stops (velar, alveolar, and bilabial) chain-shifted universally to voiceless and voiceless aspirated under areal influence, e.g. */b/ > /p/ > /pʰ/.
