Wilaysenas

Wilaysenas (/wɪləˈsɛnəs/, natively /wɨlajˈsənas/) is the reconstructed ancestor language to Mulesuax and Bresano, the names of which are both reflexes of Wilaysenas.

Phonology
The interesting features include a seemingly phonemic stress and an odd vowel system.

Vowels
/a ə ɨ/ This odd vowel inventory explains the odd diphthongs of Mulesuax and the odd sound correspondences between Mulesuax and Bresano.

Phonotactics
Syllable structure was CV(R) where R is w or j. Word final syllables are difficult to reconstruct as they were lost in Bresano and reduced in Mulesuax. In one analysis, final syllables were allowed an extra consonant to close it, although which consonants were allowed word-final are unknown. Most scholars agree that at least s, t and k were allowed.
