Also, just to let you know, all of the changes I've posted here I've done on my computer in full IPA and with accented characters, so when I post them, I have to try to convert to SAMPA and drop diacritics. If you have any questions about the sound changes I've posted here anywhere, feel free to PM me or ask for the document with the changes in IPA.
"..." means a space containing at least one syllable break.

Pharazon, that book is really good, but I do have some complaints with the style. Besides the transcription they use, I'm wondering, what the heck does this mean: ?z evolves into a voiced s? ? And for that matter, how come it never refers to 'z', but always to 'voiced s'?
And Pharazon, you complained when you took up Italian after I took Catalan (which I'll do next), and now you got a request for it!
