In Algonquian languages there is a widespread rule of first- syllable verbal ablaut, known in the literature as initial change. Although many details of the Proto-Algonquian verbal system have been reconstructed with great assurance, initial change has been largely ignored in comparative and historical Algonquian studies. In this paper I compare the process in all the attested daughter languages and then reconstruct initial change in Algonquian. This reconstruction depends on evidence from several languages not usually considered in comparative Algonquian studies and also raises interesting issues in the phonology of word-initial vowels in Proto-Algonquian.
