Old Schngellstein/Padmanábha

Padmanábha /'pæð.n̩.'niə.b̥e/ 'commoners' language as opposed to Camalanàbha' or Padmapradhána /...pʁɑ̈.'tʰiə.n̩/ is a Camalic language spoken in Irta's Morocco. It has borrowed from Camalanàbha during the Old Padmanábha stage.

The motivation for Padmanábha is "Irish orthography read as a Khmer/Danish hybrid". The name Padmanábha is inspired by the Sanskrit word padma meaning lotus.

Its orthography is the same as in Old Padmanábha, but it underwent Khmerization from Old Padmanábha voiced and breathy voiced stops. Old Padmanábha r also became uvular and vocalized. This has resulted in modern Padmanábha having approximately as many vowels as Danish. It's also a tonal/register language like Danish, having stød corresponding to Old PN monosyllables (and retained with the addition of the definite article -as and possessive suffixes).

Stops should be Danish-like, Camalanàbha loans should sound a lot like Sanskrito-Khmer but with a Danish touch

The three way distinction in front rounded vowels /y ø œ/ is upheld only before nasals, e.g. /syns sønˀs sœns/ synes, synds, søns ('seems', 'sin's', 'son's').

/a/ and /aː/ on the one hand and /ɑ/ and /ɑː/ on the other are largely in complementary distribution. However, a two-phoneme interpretation can be justified with reference to the unexpected vowel quality in words like andre /ˈɑndrɐ/ 'others' or anderledes /ˈɑnɐˌleːðəs/ 'different', and an increasing number of loanwords.Template:Sfnp

Some phonemes and phones that only occur in unstressed position often merge with full phonemes and phones:Template:Sfnp

• [ʊ] with [o], leading to a variable merger of /və/ and /o/ (the former can be [wə] or [wʊ] instead, in which case no merger takes place).
• /ɐ/ with /ɔ/. According to Template:Harvp, these sounds are usually merged, the main difference being the greater variability in the realizations of /ɐ/, which only occurs in unstressed position. In the narrow phonetic transcriptions of Template:Harvp and Template:Harvp, the two sounds are treated as identical.Template:SfnpTemplate:Sfnp
