The results are in!

-

131) It is 1473 CE, and King Enri VI has died without an heir. There are several contenders for the Brettaniot throne. Who should be the next king?
b) Afonso V of Portugal - 2nd Cousin of Enri VI (His claim is more legitimate since he is actually descended from a previous Brettaniot monarch, Blanque II and her husband John II)

132) In what year (within this alternate timeline) should we stop this thread?
e) Present Day

133) What should happen to the sounds /ɲ ʎ/ in coda position?
b) /ɲ ʎ/ > /jn jl/

-

134) Afonso V of Portugal has now become the King of Britain. Should Britain form a personal union with Portugal?
a) Yes.
b) No.
c) Other.

135) What should happen to unstressed diphthongs?
a) /Vi Vu/ > /iː uː/
b) /ei ou ai au/ > /iː uː eː oː/
c) Nothing
d) Other.

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