Keldorni Etrandish

The Keldorni Etrandish language is the main language of the Republic of Keldorn, split off from Middle Etrandish around 150 AEKE, heavily influenced by the Gabyrian language, and also slightly by the Keldorni Goblin language

Vowels

 * The short /i y u/ never laxed to [ɪ ʏ ʊ], remaining [i y u]
 * The diphthongs /ɐi̯ ɐu̯/ remained [ɐi̯ ɐu̯] before /l r/, while they monophthongized to [ɛː ɔː] in mainstream Middle Etrandish around 350 AEKE. Hence, [ɛː] does not appear in Keldorni Etrandish.
 * The open-mid vowels /ɛ œ ɔ/ got raised to [e̞ ø̞ o̞].
 * The schwa /ə/ got merged with /ø/.
 * /ɔu̯/ merged with /oː/

Consonants

 * Keldorni Etrandish preserved the distinction between the voiced [w] and voiceless [ʍ], the voiced [r~ɾ~ɹ] and voiceless [r̥].
 * The voiced fricative /z/ got affricated to /d͡z/ everywhere but in the syllable coda.
 * While in Etrand Etrandish, voiceless stops became aspirated and modally voiced stops became slack-voiced (everywhere but medially, where they remaiend fully voiced), in Keldorni Etrandish, voiceless stops remained unaspirated and modally voiced stops remained fully voiced.

Consonants

 * /r/ is pronounced differently depending on the environment:
 * Trilled [r] word-initially and when geminated.
 * Flapped [ɾ] between two vowels, and after consonants
 * Approximant [ɹ] in the syllable coda.
 * Voiced stops are always fully voiced, except before a voiceless sound, where they either become slack-voiced, or completely devoiced.
 * Voiceless stops are unaspirated. Word-initially, they may be slightly aspirated.
 * The affricate /d͡z/ is deaffricated to [z] in the syllable coda.

Monophthongs

 * [ɒ ɔː] exist only as allophones of /ɑ aː/ before /l r/.
 * [æ] exists only as the allophone of /e/ before /l r k ŋ/.
