Old Warlok

General information
The ancestral language of the Warlok family, Old Warlok has a much more regular sound system than its most widely spoken decendant, Viisyal. However, gramatically the two are very similar : regular sound change, a mutated verb conjugation system, and an influx of loanwords from the Rotenmuhl languages make up the largest diferences.

Consonants
It is likely that Old Warlok had begun the process of palatising the voiced clicks and softening [X] to [h], since the effects of both changes are apparent in all but one daughter language. Old Warlok dictionaries do not record this sound distinction, but by the language's late period, records of slang were already interchanging the letter /c/ and digraph /t s/ to refer to [ʇ] where /t s/ is a supposed approximation for the modern pronunciation of the letter /c/, [tɕ].

Phonotactics & ToneEdit
The syllable structure of Old Warlok is CVF, where C is a consonant, V is a vowel or dipthong, and F is a final minor syllable. The minor syllablr contains a consonant and a devoiced (or omitted) u. Final consonants began to mutate dependent on vowel length in the middle period.

Most importantly, the final glottal stop [ʔu̥] mutated into a high tone in Viisyal and Warlok, and was lost entirely in Pataka. Reconstruction of its use as a final syllable comes from Old Warlok dictionaries, and its retention in one dialect of Warlok. Previous to this tone mutation, Old Warlok had only a pitch accent system. This sytem's rules remain the same as the tone section described in Viisyal, sans the use of tone distinguished words.
