So, this started off as Kypothian, but I've gone a completely different direction with it, so I thought it deserved a separate thread. It is a Romlang in the sense that it shows my interpretation of what Latin could've evolved into beside French, Spanish and the rest of Romance languages. I've sworn myself not to change it anymore, but please note, if there's some major fail.

Sound inventory:
<a ae e eu ı y u o> /a & e 2 i y u o/
<p t d k g> /p t d k g/
<v s z x ȷ h> /v s z S Z h/*
<m n J> /m n J/
<r> /4/
<ç> /tS/
<l> <l>
*I can't decide if I want h to be silent or not.

Also diacritics for vowels are in use: <´> indicates stress or sometimes distinguishment and <¨> indicates that two vowels which would normally form a digraph must be pronounced separately.

These are the "standart" sound changes from Latin to Cypotian:
1 *b > v
2 *f > h
3 *ph > *f > h
4 *ss > x
5 *x > *ss > x
6 *cc > ç
7 *ch > c
8 *cc > ç
9 *ci > ç /_V
10 *ci > çı
11 *ce > çe /_V
12 *ere > ar /_#
13 *are > ar /_#
14 *a > ae /_NC
15 *e > ae /_NC
16 *o > eu /_NC
17 *u > y /_NC
18 *gi > ȷ /_V
19 *ge > ȷe /_V
20 *l > ll /_e
21 *l > ı/C_V
22 *l > ı/V_P
23 *nt > ñ/_V
24 *nd > *nt > ñ/_V
25 *nt > n/_C
26 *nd > *nt > n/_C
27 *s > z /V_V
28 *s > z /_N
29 *sp > ep/#_
30 *sp > p/V_
31 *st > et/#_
32 *st > t/V_
33 *sc > ec/#_
34 *sc > c/V_
35 *h > Ø

Some of it is what Latin really went through in one or another language, but some are so just because I wanted it to be Very Happy
The grammar works pretty much the way Spanish and French work.
What do you think?

I can't read the <character> you use for the /Z/ phoneme. Is it a yogh?
An ezh? A Cyrillic з ? Or, none of the above?

Why is "i" dotless if you have no dotted i as well?

Because in my alternate reality they never added the dot to the i and the j.
