  • Loss of terminal voiceless stops, stop + [s] > [sː];
  • Terminal nasal vowels eject a coda [m];
  • Coda [p b l] > [w]
  • Glottalisation of medial and final [d t] when not the initial of a stressed syllable or in contact with another consonant;
  • Those rebellious students begin to use an informal spelling that drops some of the now-silent consonants, and regularises a few others:

  • Loss of nasalisation of vowels not immediately preceding nasal consonants;
  • [aː eː uː] > [əɑ iəɛ əʉ]
  • Loss of intervocalic and terminal glottal stops, in the latter case with compensatory lengthening of the preceding vowel; vowels in hiatus may develop excrescent [j w];
  • Loss of terminal, and some medial, schwa, with compensatory lengthening of preceding vowels;
  • Loss of gemination;
  • [ɤʋ əʋ] merge with [əʉ]
  • Remaining [ə] > [ɐ] except where nasalised or in diphthongs;
  • [f] > [h]
  • The informal orthography develops further, taking some influences from Dutch and German, in solidarity with similar protests in Europe (also a few analogical spellings are introduced).

  • Hiatus resolution with compensatory lengthening, mainly with [ə] dropping out.
  • Coda nasals drop out after nasalised vowels.
  • ʎd > ʎɟ
  • Protests are past news, so orthography mostly reverts back to the original one.

There's a sample of Dothraki with IPA on Wikipedia:

Why not?
  • [a.a] > [ɑː ] > [oː]
  • Loss of medial [x]
  • Resulting [ai ea] > [æː eː] > [aː iː]
  • Loss of unstressed short vowels preceding long vowels;
  • Loss of short vowels more than one syllable away from the stress, with compensatory lengthening of preceding vowels;
  • Intervocalic [v] > [w]

  • Loss of schwa
    • After stressed open syllables, with compensatory lengthening of the preceding vowel;
    • In unstressed structure words, attaching the consonant of that structure word to the beginning of the next word;
    • After a geminate, with loss of gemination, but no compensatory lengthening;
  • [eː iː oː] > [je ei ue]
  • [hm] > [m̥]
