The parent language. Had only /h/ using internal reconstruction, but this could have been several fricatives that merged.


Bilabials:       p    b    m
Alveolars:       t    d    n    l    r
Postalveolars:   č    ǯ
Palatals:                       (y)
Velars:          k    ġ    ŋ    (Ø)       h

Vowels were /a i u ə/.

Ideally, User:Soap/Birch is a branch of this which splits off after the lenition of /č ǯ/ to /s y/ (conditionally) and probably also after a re-shaping of the vowel system to /a e i o u/ but before most of the other shifts that make Birch what it is.
