Sound changes from Latin
These are the main sound changes that affected the Late Latin spoken in this area, which later became Novelatine. These sound change laws are usually respected, but sometimes there are other results, mainly because of analogy (for example the uniform masculine/feminine accusative plural ending -es, the actual derived endings should have been very different in each declension, but it spread in every noun class).
Legend: C, any consonant; N, a nasal consonat (n, m); V, any vowel; the sign [:], a long vowel or consonant.
- i: → yi [ji] (lupī → lupyi)
- ct → wt
- pt → wt
- VlV → VwV but → VlV if another w is present. (incola → êcowa - voluptas → voluwta)
- ClV → CwV but → ClV if V = u (clavis → cwav - flumen → flumê)
- C: → C (terra → tera)
- tiV → cyV [ʧj] (liberatio → lyiberacyô)
- CiV → CyV [j], but not if [i] is stressed.
- eNC, iNC → ê [e◌̃]
- aNC, oNC, uNC → ô [o◌̃]
- eN_#, iN_# → ê [e◌̃]
- aN_#, oN_#, uN_# → ô [o◌̃]
- ae_# → e
- ae (stressed or in a syllable before the stressed one) → ay
- us_# → e
