I'm in a historical ling course rn so I'm gonna try to make a few rules for Cimbrian sounds change. Not using IPA. Only listing those that go back to proto-Germanic so we there's less likely to be Venetian influence or whatevs. Not doing -an infinitive endings and unstressed vowels. Sette Comuni. I don't think there's any change in the alveolar trills so I'm not listing for now. Original language is OHG. The f > b and f > f changes are too complicated so I'm not going into them here.
