Surely there are no languages that base their rules on forbidding certain pronunciations?
(Proscriptive means forbidding; I assume you meant prescriptive)
Hiatus avoidance in Classical Latin poetry is the closest thing to a rule I can think of
Indeed, you're correct. Although the French do have the DGLFLF.
