Carrajena update -- Sound Changes



Well, I finally finished updating my sound changes for Carrajena have them all on the web for the first time ever.  All interested parties may view the change rules along with example words at http://www.geocities.com/carrajena/soundchange.html but please note that the words given as examples are not necesarily actual Carrajena words.  Many of these words probably *will* be actual words in the Carrajena lexicon, but they await ratification by my Grand Poohbahness.  I just took example words from the book, _From Latin to Romance in Sound Charts_, by Peter Boyd-Bowman.

I am aware that I have not been very consistant in discribing the sound changes.  Sometimes I have used phonetic representation and some times Carrajena orthographic representation.  That's because I haven't decided which way is best for my page.  Suggestions on which direction to regularize (orthographic or phonetic) are welcome.

 

Any nasty inconsistancies in directionality of changes is most welcome. I'm also hoping for comments on likelihood of changes (other than qu > kp > p and ct >pt >p which are set in stone and inspired by Romanian and Sardinian) since I do have a few odd ones.  And of course all questions will be gladly answered.
