Kti/Insular

General
This article describes the insular variety of Kti - or, rather, the insular varieties in general. Insular Ktarh is one of the more preserved dialect clusters as it doesn't fall under the Kikrāk (Unity laws) and has its own rich history and literary tradition.

Insular Ktarh is an innovative cluster, deviating from the standard in a handful of vital soundchanges. It divides the proto-Ktarh system of /*r *l *ʂ/ into two groups (/ð r ʂ/ and /j j s/) due to changes triggered by vowels. It also does away with some of the distinctions the standard makes, but keeps a few which were phased out elsewhere.
