Description
This comprehensive handbook provides an overview of the regular changes that Latin words underwent as they evolved into modern Romance languages. It offers a clear and concise guide to the sound changes, presented in separate alphabetical charts for each major change.
The rules are stated simply, without explanation of their evolution, but with notes providing additional information on exceptions and successive stages in the development of the sounds. Each chart is supplemented by a list of example words illustrating the same sound change.
