(Source I recommend reading the first parts of the "Chronological history" section of: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonological_history_of_French) | |||
* word initial s- becomes ǐs- > ēs- (es-) | |||
* Any word final consonant in Latin that isn't -s gets culled off unless it's a monosyllable (e.g. rem > rien) | |||
* ns > s (mensa > mesa) | |||
* rs > ss (sporadically due to different trends in different communities) (*Dorsum > *dossu > dos in Fr, ursum > urso) | |||
* unstressed intertonic vowels get reduced into oblivion in specific circumstances (Consult wikipedia page) | |||
* -er > -re, -or > -ro -- French would lose final -e in general, thus super > supre > suwr(e) > sur; Spanish joins in later with -dad. | |||

* kt > jt | |||
* ks > js (~sj > š in some areas) | |||
* Some inconsistent treatment of breaking vowels before palatals e.g. French nŏ́jte > nuojte > nujt > nuit; Es. noche, but mucho. | |||
* Less inconsistent treatment of breaking vowels before liquids and nasals, e.g. Spanish tierra but French terre, but O.Fr. tertium > tierz | |||
* Some disagreement between family members on how to treat things before semivowels in general, e.g. French sur but Es. sobre. |
