Iberian Gothic

General Information
Iberian Gothic is an East Germanic language descended from the tongue of the Visigoths, a Germanic tribe whose origins lie in Scandinavia. It is descended from the same branch of East Germanic languages that Ostrogothic and Vandalic are from. Owing much to the multilingual heritage of the Iberian peninsula, Iberian Gothic shares much in common developmentally with Spanish and Catalonian.

Historical Phonology
'''Note: this is unorganized and unfinished. '''Feel free to correct any errors.

The word final〈m〉of the dative is lost. Elsewhere,〈m〉→〈n〉

Example:

The word final〈s〉is intact, but is instead used for pluralization

Example:

Graphic〈au〉and〈ai〉→〈ue〉and〈ie〉

Example: *waúrd [ˈwɔrd] → vuerd [ˈβwerd] ms. "word"

[hʷ kʷ gʷ] are simplified to [x k g]; between another consonant an epithetic〈u〉is inserted instead

Example: *triggws [ˈtriɡɡʷs] → triggus [ˈtriɡɡus] → trigo [ˈtriɣo] “faithful”

When not following a high vowel, /θ/ → /s/. After another consonant, /θ, ð/ → /d/, otherwise /θ/ remains

Example:

An epithetic /e/ is universally inserted before /s/

Example: *riks → riques ms. "realms"

Example: *skauro → escuero

Unstressed vowels are often the victim of syncope

Example: *waninassus [ˈwaninasːus] → vañaso [ˈβaɲaso] ms. “deficiency”

Syllabic consonants are usually deleted

Example: *fugls [ˈfuɣl̩] → fogo [ˈfoɣo] ms. "bird"
