User blog:OrangeHills/August Rikutsaren Revamp

So I haven't really been posting here as much as I would have liked, so here's an overview of some major changes going on: ''Elder Rikutsaren - Elder Rikutsaren has been modified to fit with the lore of Rikutsar. In place of diphthongs are now long vowels. Phonemic long consonants have been implemented. /ʃ/, /ʒ/, /θ/, and all related affricates have all been reduced to /s/ or /Cs/. [z] is now allophonic of /s/ after voiced plosives. Long vowels are now represented by a doubling of the glyph. The same is true for long consonants.'' Sound Changes - The following sound changes have been implemented in chronological order:
 * d → t finally after vowels
 * unstressed open vowels disappear unless finally or adjacent to /r/. long variants shorten. secondary stressed vowels do not disappear.
 * s disappears adjacent to consonants, turns plosives long (this is a cascading effect)
 * s disappears intervocalically
 * ao → ɔ ‹å›
 * au → o ‹o›
 * ae / ai → ɛ ‹ä›
 * oe/ oi / eo → œ ‹ö›
 * ei → i ‹ï›
 * ue / ui → ʏ ‹ü›
 * aoi → ɶ ‹o̊›
 * /r/ turns to /ð/ (through /ɾ̥/) after long vowels in syllable coda.
 * i: → y: ‹į›
 * a: → ɔ: ‹ą›
 * g turns to /j/ intervocalically or between /r/ and /e/
 * nasalization as usual
 * /r/ disappears between consonants
 * bd → nd
 * pt → n̥t
 * bh → v
 * /d/ becomes glottal stop unless word-initially. No orthographic change.
 * Glottal stop glottalizes previous vowel or consonant and deletes any following close vowel, shortening it if it is long, and then disappears.
 * tk/dk → ŋ̊ ‹nk›
 * tg/dg → ŋ ‹ng›
 * /u/ merges with adjacent /i/ or /j/, becomes long /i:/
 * final /e/ disappears
 * hs → s: ‹s›
 * h disappears word-finally
