Palatal consonants > alveolar palatalized consonants
Lonɡ vowels turned into diphtongs.
Central vowels fronted.

<ìjhnjegīgih>

[ih51 ɲɛ2 ɣɪ4 ɣɪh2] > [ʔîː ɲjɛ̀ ɣʏ́ ɣʏ̀ː]

Final /h/ dropped with lengthening of previous vowel. /j/ inserted after palatal sound. Vowels rounded after labials and velars. Glottal stop inserted before initial vowels.

<ìhngēiyish>

[ˈîŋ̊ɛ̌ːjːìʃ] > [ˈih˥˩ŋeːɪ̯jiʃ]

Voiceless nasals dissimilate into h+N. Long vowels are raised. Coda glides are centralised. Tones merge into neutal "3" level tone in unstressed syllables.

<nìnghiyįjihj>
[ˈɲîŋɸiˌjìːʃiʃ] > [ˌɲiŋ˥˩hi.ˈiː˩ʒiʃ]
/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.

< ngēizùijaszisi > [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 ele...

<ngéy tüx wëqx qix>
[ˈŋweː˥˧tʲu˧˩βəʔ˩ɕi˩] > [ˈŋeː˦ty˨wəʔ˨ɕi˨]

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

<hon xèi tjìv vik śi>

[ŋo1 ɻe:53 tɪβ41 bik1 ɕi1] > [ŋu˩ wej˥˧ təw˦˩ bɪk̚˩ ɕi˩]

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.

<sáun xéin gjīn bit ty> [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 i...
