Welcome to the board!HolyHandGrenade! wrote: ↑29 Aug 2024 18:29 I’m afraid my phonology is not super natural and I’ve done almost no proto-lang work, so I need some kind of historical justification for my weird phonology.
Specifically, I have labialized consonants, but only on voiceless consonants that aren’t fricatives, and all labialized nasals & approximate are unvoiced.
Can you show us your phonology?
I don't understand why that would need justification.HolyHandGrenade! wrote: ↑29 Aug 2024 18:29I had an idea that labialized consonants could derive from rounded vowels, thus justifying my five vowel system in the face of tons of consonants, although I can change that if it would conflict with any other historical justifications.
