Game: Let's Reform English

[Αυτοβοτα]

hi karkat!

1. Cliticized "the" de-aspirates a following aspirated plosive.
2. Front-back vowel harmony.
   1. A word assimilates to the backness of its first stressed vowel, whether primary or secondary stress.
   2. /a/ and /ã/ are neutral, but force the word to be back if they're the first stressed vowel.

1. θ ð > t d
2. l > ɫ in a [+back] word.
3. Sibilant cluster breakup - follows plural rules.
4. Break up 3+ clusters with epenthetic schwa. Group by twos from the right.
5. ATR/tenseness harmony! Harmonizes to first stressed syllable. Central vowels are neutral on both axes.

[Αυτοβοτα]

1. Adjust word order to more closely match VSO typology:
   1. Adjectives go after their heads.
   2. Adverbs tend toward the end of the main clause.
2. "The protein chute" is a compound word.
3. Vowel-semivowel sequences simplify:
   1. [-round]w > [+round]ː
   2. [+back]j > [+front]ː
   3. [+round]w, [+front, -round]j > [+raised]ː
4. V̰ː > V̰ə
5. ɫ > l / _[+front]

A consonant takes voicing of a following consonant
V→V̥/C[-voice]__C[-voice]
C[cor]→C[pal]/V[+front, +high]__ (n>ɲ, r>rʲ)

[Αυτοβοτα]

1. Retroactively correct a missed change.
2. Voiceless vowels are lost.
3. Syllables of [C, +sonorant][V, -front, -round, -long]([+obstruent]) > [C, +syllabic](C)
4. Resyllabify some sequences of consonants, generally when they increase in sonority.

1. Retroactive correction of a couple places where a sound change got missed.
2. Hiatus within a word is broken up with /ʔ/.
3. /h/ drops after another vowel, lengthening it.
4. The articles are lost.

• The two existing level tones spread out a bit more and toneless becomes a new mid tone.
• The /w/ that got left in front of /ʉ/ somehow in one of the words is lost.
• /ɐ ɤ aɪ̯ ɐ ɤ/ /a ɯ æ/
• /ɨ ʉ/ are redistributed to put /ʉ/ in front of labials and /ɨ/ elsewhere.
• /n/ /ŋ/ | _k$
• The pronunciation of the word <I> regularizes to /e/ and that of <to> to /da/.
• I think it's time for a spelling reform at this point. How about you?

Changes

• ᶣe > ø
• ɖ͡ɻ > ɖ
• Voicing for obstruents now depends on context. If an obstruent occurs before a non-high-tone vowel, it is voiced, otherwise it is voiceless. /d͡l/ is treated as a unitary sound and devoices to /t͡l/. Modify orthography to match.
• Onset-less high-tone vowels get a preceding glottal stop.

Cleanup

• Changed around some instances of [ɨ~ʉ] to match their distribution.
• Changed "everyone" to match proper vowel tone and form for all invocations.
