Since the last one was deleted for the board's sake, I'm making this thread to hopefully keep the game going.

I might come back and edit in some general rules/guidelines for anyone who might want to join in the future and who wasn't familiar with the old thread(s).

[suə51n ʃæi35ɲ ɟʝi5m bi1ʔ tʃi2] > [sʷʌn˥˩ ʃei˧˥ dʑim˥ bi˩ʔ tɕi˩]

Therefore, language gets rid of schwa diphtongs by replacing them with /ɛ/ and /ʌ/, with eventually palatalizing or labializing of preceding consonant.

Also, palatal nasal is lost after front vowels or turned into /ŋ/ after back and central vowels, being retained only in coda. This cause different coda nasals to become phonemic. /dʒ/ and /ɟʝ/ merge to /dʑ/, and /tʃ/ > /tɕ/ happens analogically. 2 (low) tone merges with 1 (very low) tone.

Low rising becomes low, i: becomes ɪC (now contrasting with i). Falling has a higher allophone (53) in open syllables, and a lower allophone (41) in closed syllables.

æi > æ: > e:
h > ŋ next to nasal vowels.

Happening changes are: /e/ > /i/, /o/ > /u/, /e:/ > /ej/, /o:/ > /ow/; Initial /ɻ/ > /w/, /ɪ/ > /ə/, /i/ > /ɪ/ if coda present, final /β/ > /w/. Also, final t and k are unreleased.

Tones are simplified to low vs. high. Palatalizing vowels monophtongize. /β/ > /w/. /w/ lost if bordering other consonant in same syllable.

Consonants geminate before short vowels.
These then result in new vowels and reestablish a tone system.

All voiceless sibilants merge into /s/.

[ŋeːt5 sui41 jəs2 si2 si2] > [ɲeːʔ˥ sʷi˥˩ jih˨ ʃi˨ ʃi˨]

Front vowels cause palatalization of preceding consonants: velar/glottal > palatal, alveolar > palatoalveolar, labial > labial + palatal. Coda /s/ > /h/. Coda /t/ > /ʔ/. Diphtong stress is placed on second element if both elements have same height, and are reduced afterwards. Schwa turns to /i/, /u/ or /a/ depending on preceding consonant.

/ɸ/ > /h/. Glides are dropped between vowels, with next vowel lengthened. Fricatives voiced between vowels. Stress falls on third last mora, and every next third morae gets secondary stress.

Final fricatives separate syllables

Adjacent vowels diphthongize (or triphthongize in some cases), with i:: > ɛei, tone sandhi occurs. z ʒ > r j.

Triphthongs break and result in glottal stops. Lax vowels are deleted, resulting in ejectives for some cases.
