[t.] represents retroflex t.
Where's the fun in making familiar Romance languages?
[fso] is from Latin accusative plural /ipsos/ minus the plural
marker /s/. You might have noticed that most of the words in fat. d@
noS have no end-vowel. That's because the accusative singular forms
-am, -um, and -em elided in front of vowels; then they were dropped
in front of consonants. -a:s, -o:s, and -e:s became aS, oS, eS, so
you just have to know which vowel is used in the plural form of the
word.
One of my goals with Fortunatian is to mimic to a certain extent
Berber phonology; therefore p > f. Fortunatian is tolerant of
clusters and sounds even stranger because it has many Etruscan roots
in it, such as:
spura 'city' > Spu:ra > pSu:ra > fSur, fSuraS (f.)
The original consonants were:
p b m f
t d n l r
ts dz s
S j
k g
kw gw
h
[ts] is from Etruscan /z/
[dz] is from an archaizing pronunciation of Greek /z/
The vowel development is:
1.
ai>e:
oi>e:
au>o:
2.
a:>a
e>@
o>@
i>y
u>y
e:>e
o:>o
i:>i
u:>u
