I believe it comes from loanwords.

Yep. Any instances of /oi eu/ come from loanwords.

The results are in!

-

This question ended in a tie, so it was voted on again.

110) What should be the fate of unstressed /o/?
a) It should be retained.

-

116) Who should John I and Blanque I name as their heir to the Brettaniot throne?
b) Alix de Brittany - Daughter of the ruling monarchs. Her marriage to a Brettaniot noble would satisfy the bitter nobility of Britain (especially since their future descendants would all be of Brettaniot heritage), decreasing the tension between the ruling family and Brettaniot landowners.

-

Should we accept these proposals?

114) What sound changes would you like to see occur in Middle Brettaniot?
The diphthongs /ai au/ will become /ei ou/. (proposed by this_is_an_account)
a) Yes.
b) No.
c) Other.

115) The subjunctive mood was lost as a distinction in verbal conjugations early in the history of Middle Brettaniot. How should the subjunctive mood be indicated?
There will be no special marking for the subjunctive. (proposed by shimobaatar)
a) Yes.
b) No.
c) Other.

-

117) Should Middle Brettaniot develop consonant mutation like the Celtic languages of the British Isles?
a) Yes.
b) No.
c) Other.

118) What should happen to the verbal conjugations of Middle Brettaniot?
a) The plural verb forms should collapse into a single "plural" conjugation.
b) The future tense should be lost, being replaced with auxillary verbs.
c) Other.

119) What should happen to unstressed /u/?
a) It should be retained.
b) It should become /ə/ <o>.
c) b but it's written as <e>.
d) b but it's written as <a>.
e) It becomes /ɨ/.
f) Other.

These are the sound changes that have happened so far from Vulgar Latin to Middle Brettaniot.

We could, but since there was only one proposal for each, I decided to leave it at that. I'll add those questions again to see if we accept those proposals or not.

EDIT: I added the two questions to be voted on again.

124) It is 1328 CE, and the King of France, Charles IV, has died without a male heir. He was the brother-in-law of Enri II, the King of Britain, who married his sister, Isabella of France. This means that Enri II's 18-year-old son and heir apparent, Enri de Dygnunia, could make a claim to the French throne as Charles IV's closest male relative. Despite the Salic law that France has recently implemented, should Enri II try to make a claim for his son as the king of France?

b) No.

-

125) Should Middle Brettaniot develop a phonemic length distinction?
a) Yes, through sound changes such as /VCə/ > /VːC/. This would lead to words such as niçe /nit͡sə/ "nice" being pronounced as [niːt͡s]
b) Yes, but new long vowels are created through diphthongs. (proposed by this_is_an_account) - The exact sound changes will be shown in detail right underneath this question.
c) Same as b but /ai au/ are unaffected if they are introduced (proposed by shimobaatar)
d) Yes, but not through the sound change mentioned in a (other sound changes can be proposed here)
e) No.
f) Other.

/kw gw/ - <qu~cu gu>
/i u e ə o a/ - <i~y u e e~a o a> (the distinction between <i~y> /i/ and <e~a> /ə/ is determined etymologically)
