Inspiration: Welsh, Vrushka; intended to be a Welshy counterpart to our Arabic which is Irishy

Umlaut (before non-emphatic consonants)

a-umlaut: a i u aa ii uu ay aw > /a e o a: e: o: ai au/
i-umlaut: a i u aa ii uu ay aw > /ɛ i ü e: i: ü: ɛi aü/ (a: > e: already by imāla)
u-umlaut: a i u aa ii uu ay aw > /œ ü u œ: ü: u: ɔi ɛu/

Loss of vowel length after umlaut; loss of geminates

alif > 0

yā' > /ð/ dde

ḍād > /ɬ/ llawd

sīn, shīn, ṣād > /s ʃ ɧ/ sin, šin, sjawd

ṭā' > /p/ ex. ṭayyib > peddyb /pɛðəb/ 'good'

tā' > /t/

ẓā' > /ð/, /v/, /ɣ/ (randomly) ex. ghebi /ɣɛbi/ 'gazelle'; fwhr /vuhər/ 'noon'

qāf > /k/ c, kāf > /tʃ/ č

jīm > /g/

fā > /v/
