Phrase evolution game

[Rounin Ryuuji]

• [ʃ] > [s]
• [ə ʊ̃ ã ɪ̃] > [ø ø̃ õ ɛ̃]
• Postvocalic [r] > [ə]
• Other terminal consonants are deleted with compensatory lengthening of the preceding vowel, unless another vowel follows, in which case lengthening still occurs, but the consonant is ejected across the morpheme boundary;
• Nasals eject [n] to the beginning of a following word
• Half-long vowels are fully lengthened, the pitch accent is lost;
• [ɨə ɨː ɪ:] merge to [iː]
• [ɸ x s] > [ç ç ɕ] before [i]; [ʊ] > [y] after [j]
• A few minor orthographic changes:
  • Where pronounced [x~ç], "bh" and "bhr" are reduced to "h" and "hr", "z" pronounced thus is respelled "zh".
  • Where pronounced [br]iː[/br], "i" is replaced with "ŷ";
  • Instances of "t" pronounced [s~ɕ] are replaced with "s".
  • Where pronounced [p], "k" is replaced by "p";
  • Instances of "bh" pronounced [ɸ] are replaced with "ph"
  • Instances of "ny" pronounced [x] are replaced by "nh"
  • Oral [ø] is spelled "e";
  • When indicating a nasal vowel, final "m" is replaced by "n";
  • Instances of "u" pronounced [ɨ] are replaced with "y";
  • Accents indicating length are all replaced with circumflexes;
  • Instances of [ø̃] may also be spelled "wen".

• [k g s t] > [ç ç ɕ cɕ] before [i]
• Loss of terminal vowels, with compensatory lengthening of the preceding syllable, diphthongisation of monosyllables [i ɔ ɛ e a] > [ij ɔu ɛi ei ai]; loss of vowels is blocked by nasality of either vowel.]

• Resolution of Geminates:
  • Geminate [m] triggers nasalisation of preceding vowels, then degeminates;

  • [vː] > [wv];
  • [gː] > [jg], or [jɟ͡ʑ] before front vowels;
  • [tː] > [t̪t̪͡s̪] > [jt̪s̪] before front vowels
• Coda [g] becomes [x] usually, but [j] after front vowels;
• [t͡ʃx h w ] > [c͡ɕ ɕ ɥ] before front vowels
• [t d] > [t̪͡s̪ d̪͡z̪] before front vowels;
• Coda [l] > [j]
• A new orthography is developed:

• Laminal [t d] merge into dental [t̪ d̪]
• [d ð] merge to [ð] intervocalically and prerhotically; [θ ð] merge to [ð] medially and prerhotically, [θ] initially and terminally;
• Initial voiceless stops become aspirated;
• Sequences of nasal + voiceless stops converge to a voiced stop, the preceding vowel becoming nasalised; terminal nasals are lost with nasalisation and lengthening of the preceding vowel, except the vowel will be denasalised, and the nasal appear at the beginning of the next word, if the next word begins with a vowel;
• [jn n(i) jg jgw d(i) jð] > [ɲ ɲ ɟ͡ʝ ɟ͡ʑ ɟ͡ʑ ɟ͡ʑ]
• Shift of stress to the final heavy syllable of a word, or to the penult if all syllables are of equal weight;
• Loss of schwa, with lengthening of preceding vowel, if present, and some alteration to consonants brought into contact; [əː] : [eː]
• Prerhotic lowering of [e ɛ] to [aː] where the [r] is in the coda:

• [eː iː] > [ej ij]; [uː aː] > [ɘu ɘa]
