About Segian
Segian displays a similar case system to Yushic, however many of the case suffixes have become separate words. However it has gone through a sound shift as well as differing meanings from similar Yushic words due to isolation. It uses more SVO order than its mother language's SOV.
/u/ in general shifted to /y/ before /k/ and /g/. In some words, /ŋ/ has shifted to /n/ word-finally.
/ɛ/ shifted irregularly to /a/, and /a/ shifted irregularly to /ɛ/ after /s/ and /ʃ/.
(WIP)
