Notation

We use Adelaar's (1992) notation in describing Proto-Malayic sounds.

Vowels

  • Monophthongs: a i u ə
  • Dipthongs: ay aw uy

Notes

  1. ^ 'A' or 'ᴀ' indicates that the vowel is either *a or *ə, while 'V' indicates that the vowel is uncertain. Reduction of antepenultimate vowels into schwa is common in many Malay varieties, and the original vowel must be inferred from other languages.
  2. ^ According to Adelaar (1992), there were only 2 diphthongs: *-ay, and *-aw. However, Anderbeck (2012) posited older diphthong *-uy, which is only present in Duano, and was merged with -i elsewhere.

Consonants

  • Nasals: m n ñ ŋ
  • Voiceless plosives: p t c k
  • Voiced plosives: b d j g
  • Fricatives: s h
  • Approximants: w l y
