North African Vulgar Latin




I've been working on my Carthaginian again. I've settled on a "Sardinian" vowel system with some complications for AU. I've settled on the basic concept that will govern intervocalic voicing and palatalizations before I and E for K and G and before U for S. I've decided (more or less) what to do with final consonants.

Now I'm pondering what to do with QU and consonant clusters. I'm leaning toward the Romanian solution for QU, but is that realistic with Western treatment of palatalization? I want to do something to make C-o look a bit less Iberian, but I'm not sure this is the right solution. Could QU go in some other direction? Toward WH? Something else?

In spite of it all it's a beautiful world.
