No sooner said than done. At the bottom there's also a choice selection of
examples. Mainly swear-words.

Note that all changes are from Vulgar Latin, not Classical Latin.

a: -> a
e: -> a
i: -> ei
o: -> o
u: -> au

e -> ja /+stress
e -> je /#_
o -> ü /+stress

a -> o /_Cu

a -> ä /_Ci
o -> ö /_Ci
u -> ü /_Ci

ae -> ei
oe -> ei

z -> c
h -> 0
p -> pf /#_V
t -> z (or tz, depending on what looks nicer!)
c -> ch /V_V
c -> k
ct -> cht
pt -> ft
cl -> il /V_
qu -> k
lv -> lb
v -> w
b -> v /V_
vr -> ur /V_
lc -> lch
lt -> ltz
lp -> lf
gn -> ng
nt -> n
mpt -> ntz
sc -> sch
sj -> sch

-itia -> -etz
-ntia -> -ntz

V -> 0 /_#

Examples:
pfuzan - whore (has much more emphatic force. In romancelangs the p-word is
used like we use fuck in English.)
pfutz - slut
mard - shit
ingaula - bugger (vb)
se brändeila - wank o.s. (from VL brandiclar "to move about", FWIW)
kul - arse
kön - c*nt, fanny
futze - fuck
peidratz - poof (from paederast, c.f. French pédé)
