Neressan language

Neressan is the language of the the Empire of Neressa.

Evolution from Middle Neressan

 * /w/ and /v/ merged into [ʋ]
 * /kʷ gʷ/ remained [kʷ gʷ]
 * /ə əː/ became [ɜᵝ ɘᵝː]

Consonants

 * [v] is the allophone of /f/ before voiced consonants.
 * In some variants and sociolects, /r/ and /ʁ/ merge into [ʀ].
 * Since /ʁ/ is traditionally not considered a rhotic consonant, the merger of /r ʁ/ merge into [ʀ] qualifies as rhotacism.

Vowels
The vowels /ɘᵝː ʏ yː/ appear only in loanwords. Due to the similarity between /œ øː/ and /ɜᵝ ɘᵝː/, the earlier are approximated by the latter.
