Old Shax/Sound Change

Shax, like French, changed significantly from Latin. Here are the sound changes for why:

Sound Changes
V = vowels, C = consonants, V̄ = long vowels, Ć = geminates, P = plosives, L = liquids, Y = glides, S = fricatives, J = palatal values (i, e, j), W = labial values (u, o, w)

Classic Latin > Vulgar Latin

 * yː, ʏ > iː, ɪ
 * pʰ > f
 * tʰ > t͡s
 * kʰ > x
 * (ā, ī, ū, ē, ō) > (ɛa, ej, ow, je, wo)
 * (ā́, ī́, ū́, ḗ, ṓ) > (ɑ, i, u, ɛ, ɔ)
 * ʊ, ɪ > o, e
 * ɑi, oi, au > ɛ, ø, ɔ
 * (b, w) > β/V_V
 * n > ∅/_S
 * h > ∅
 * t, s, m > ∅/_#
 * unstressed vowels between two single consonants are removed
 * (a, i, u, ɛ, ɔ, o, e)(m, n) > (ã, ĩ, ũ, ɛ̃, ɔ̃, ĩ, ũ)
