[Rounin Ryuuji]

Loss of nasalisation (also adjusted syllabification to reflect what it should probably actually be).

[ɪb'mæ.ri rɔ'bɑn]

[Otto Kretschmer]

b>v
[ɪv'mæ.ri rɔ'vɑn]

[Rounin Ryuuji]

Intervocalic [v] > [w].

[ɪv'mæ.ri rɔ'wɑn]

[Jonlang]

ɔ > u before w.

[ɪv'mæ.ri ru'wɑn]

[WarpedWartWars]

[ˈpa.ka a.ma ta.i]

Laxing of final [a]:

[ˈpa.kə a.mə ta.i]

[Rounin Ryuuji]

Deletion of final schwa with compensatory lengthening of the preceding vowel.

[paːk aːm ta.i]

[Jonlang]

I-mutation of a syllable preceding final i.

[paːk aːm tɛ.i]

[Rounin Ryuuji]

Terminal consonants decay to corresponding semivowels:

[paːj aːw tɛ.i]

[Man in Space]

Fortition of final *i to affricates:

[paːj aːw tɛdz]

[Rounin Ryuuji]

Final semivowels influence the quality of preceding vowels.

[pɛːj ɔːw tɛdz]

[WarpedWartWars]

[pɛːj ɔːw tɛdz]

Word-final consonant devoicing, except when next word starts with a vowel:

[pɛːj ɔːw̥ tɛts]

[Rounin Ryuuji]

[w̥] > [f]

[pɛːj ɔːf tɛts]

[Travis B.]

[p] > [ɸ]


[ɸɛːj ɔːf tɛts]

[Rounin Ryuuji]

[ɸ f j] > [x~ç] depending on surrounding vowels

[çɛːç ɔːx tɛts]

[WarpedWartWars]

[çɛːç ɔːx tɛts]

Long vowel tensing:

[çeːç ɑːx tɛts]

[Rounin Ryuuji]

Lax vowel breaking:

[çeːç ɑːx tjɑːts]

[Jonlang]

[ˈsju.pʰə ˈkʰæ.lə ˈfɹæ.d͡ʒə.ˌlɪst.ɪk ˈɛks.pi ˈæli ˈdəʊ̯.ʃəs]

Something quite atrocious. Have fun.

[Rounin Ryuuji]

[sj] > [ɕ] (also corrected some part of the transcription):

[ˈɕʊw.pʰə ˈkʰæ.lə ˈfɹæ.d͡ʒə.ˌlɪst.ɪk ˈɛks.pij ˈælɪ ˈdəʊ̯.ʃəs]

[WarpedWartWars]

[ˈɕʊw.pʰə ˈkʰæ.lə ˈfɹæ.d͡ʒə.ˌlɪst.ɪk ˈɛks.pij ˈælɪ ˈdəʊ̯.ʃəs]

I only just remembered that when I tried to pronounce it. "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious". (I got the spelling right first try!)

Syllable-initial intervocalic voicing:

[ˈɕʊw.bʰə ˈkʰæ.lə ˈfɹæ.d͡ʒə.ˌlɪst.ɪk ˈɛks.pij ˈælɪ ˈdəʊ̯.ʒəs]

(that affected only two consonants, surprisingly.)

[Rounin Ryuuji]

Vowels become more raised and fronted following [ɕ d͡ʒ ʒ]:

[ˈɕʏɥ.bʰə ˈkʰæ.lə ˈfɹæ.d͡ʒɪ.ˌlɪst.ɪk ˈɛks.pij ˈælɪ ˈdəʊ̯.ʒɪs]
