Aleña/Sound Changes

I've decided to create a separate page with an updated list of sound changes for Aleña. This page will probably change. Note that ae, oe, au, gu and qu have the same pronunciation as in Latin in this list.

V = Vowel

C = consonant

N = not palatalizable (everything that isn't t, d, s, or ʒ)

P = Plosive

L = liquid
