It’s hard, I think, to find two examples more dramatic than Armenian and Mandarin compared to the linguistically reconstructed forms of Proto-Indo-European and Old Chinese.In about 2,500 years, the non-tonal Old Chinese language gave birth to strongly tonal languages, and its lexicon underwent dramatic phonetic changes that made some words totally unrecognizable compared to their reconstructed Old Chinese forms, especially in Mandarin Chinese (by far the most spoken Chinese language). For instance:日 Old Chinese *njig (Zhengzhang) > Mandarin rì (sun)吾 Old Chinese *ngaa (Zhengzhang) > Mandarin wú (I)二 Old Chinese *njis (Zhengzhang) > Mandarin èr (two)六 Old Chinese *kruk (Baxter-Sagart) > Mandarin liù (six)殺 Old Chinese *sreed (Zhengzhang) > Mandarin shā (kill)至 Old Chinese *tjigs (Zhengzhang) > Mandarin zhì (reach, arrive)歲 Old Chinese *sqʰʷads (Zhengzhang) > Mandarin suì (year)見 Old Chinese *keens (Zhengzhang) > Mandarin jiàn (to see)忍 Old Chinese *njɯnʔ (Zhengzhang) > Mandarin rěn節 Old Chinese *ʔsiːɡ (Zhengzhang) > Mandarin jié無 Old Chinese *ma (Zhengzhang) > Mandarin wú (not, nothing)小 Old Chinese *smewʔ (Zhengzhang) > Mandarin xiǎo (small, little)There is also the fact that Mandarin Chinese and, I believe that to a smaller extent, other Sinitic languages evolved to have a lot of homophones and near-homophones, which encouraged people to create more and more noun expressions by bringing together two or more words as a way to specify the precise meaning of what one wants to communicate. Disyllabic words have become very commonplace. That has created an increasingly less monosyllabic language, with thousands of words that did not exist in Old Chinese, or making them just a part of the new longer words that have been created over the time.The second example of a very innovative language is, of course, the weirdest child of Proto-Indo-European, the Armenian language, where some of the most improbable sound changes and semantic deviations happened simultaneously, creating a dramatic effect that even eluded many linguists up to the early 20th century, making some of them think that the core lexicon of Armenian wasn’t even Indo-European.Just take a look at the fully Indo-European numerals of Armenian from 1 to 10:1 : mek - from PIE *smiyeh₂-, feminine of *sḗm, “one”2 : yerku / yerguk’ - from PIE *dwo-, *dwi-3 : yerek’ - from PIE *tréyes4 : čʿors - from PIE *kwetwóres5 : hing - from PIE *pénkʷe6 : vets’ - from PIE *swéḱs7 : yot’ - from PIE *septḿ̥8 : ut’ - from PIE *h₁oḱtṓw9 : iny - from PIE *h₁néwn̥10 : tasy - from PIE *déḱm̥Some other examples:եղբայր - yekhpayr “brother”, from PIE *bʰréh₂tērքույր - k’uyr “sister”, from PIE *swésōrհայր, հեր - hayr, her “father”, from PIE *ph₂tḗrօր - or “day”, from PIE *Heh₂mōr, “heat”If you allow for the languages that have changed very significantly not due to internal processes of semantic, phonetic and grammatical change, but due to extremely extensive influence from other language groups, causing the language to become very different from the original ancestral language, I think you could add Japanese, Vietnamese and, of course, English, which would be almost completely unintelligible for Proto-Germanic speakers from 2,000 years ago not just due to profound phonetic and grammatical transformations, but also due to the sheer amount of borrowed vocabulary.

Hello.. I noticed that this was asked by an Indonesian,.. hallo mbak, terima kasih untuk pertanyaan ini about Filipino…hmmm, if only understanding basics, like really basics, you may start with the following..WH QuestionsWhat - AnoWhen - KailanWhere - SaanWhy - BakitHow - Paano / PanoDirectionsRight - Kanan ( same with Indonesian)Left - KaliwaThere - DoonHere - DitoThis - Ito ( sounds like the itu in Indonesian but in reverse, Ini is the equivalent of this)Basic Sentences ( Conversationals, standardized Manila)Good Morning - Magandang umagaGood Afternoon - Magandang HaponSelamat Siang - Magandang TanghaliGood Evening - Magandang GabiHow much is this? - Magkano po ito?Discount please? - Pwede po tumawad? …. pesos na lang po? ( u can use english counting numbers)Where is this? - Saan po ito?What jeep should I ride? - Anong jeep po ung sasakyan?Counting Numbers - you can get by using English for counting anything, Spanish for anything regarding money (we Filipinos use this most of the time).. Filipino numbers for counting anything below eleven..If you really want to study and understand, I suggest you may need to learn the grammar structure. I speak Tagalog, English and Bahasa Indonesia/Malay, Filipino is really different in terms of grammar. We use complex affixes to form words. This is a major adjustment for you who comes from Bahasa Indonesia since we use time words and repetition. Syntax is important and completeness of pronouns, particles os important that is usually omitted in conversational Bahasa indonesia…Phonetics wise, little adjustment is needed. Both share majority of the sounds. One thing you need to adjust is we use stress marks and pauses, these are not visible to the words. Wrong stress in pronunciation will cause misunderstanding.. one perfect example is the word basa that can pertain to wet or read in english depending on stress..PS.. the letter /C/ is not pronounces as /ch/ but Initial is /k/, mid is /s/ and final is /k/..Happy learning, hope this helps..

Yes they would be. Ymir was a mindless normal titan when she ate Marcel, but she was able to regenerate into her human form just like the other eight shifters.
