Verse:Irta/Judeo-Anbirese
ŏ Jŏhuδing
Dom·lathṁar (**de-lath-amhar > deltamhar?) in mbróŋae den césand (the "bróngae" met us in the "césand") (direct evolution to Anbirese: **Tŏn:laδvŏr ŏ m-prongae djŏn χjesŏnd, JAnb: זאלתאבאר א מ-בּרוֹעא זאן שייסאנט אַם Caelþŏvŏr ŏ m-prongŏ cŏn chesŏnd am)
Should be as far from An Yidish as possible -- think simplified Munster Irish rather than simplified Gàidhlig
- no case unlike Standard Anbirese
- ae != e unlike in Standard Anbirese
- marks def direct objects with ljŏ
- synthetic verbs unlike Ăn Yidiș and Eevo
- Dueum bŏpchik but just for initial ni/nj?
- t and t' for unmutated tet and tav?
Phonology
Consonants
Hebrew orthography should represent diachronic voicing mutation with a prefixed aleph resulting in reflexes of ṫ ḋ being spelled אתּ אט
L is still /l/ or /λ/, fortis resonants retained as gemination
θ δ retained from Old Anbirese
cc c gg g ŋ ŋŋ
- broad x γ k⁼ g w ŋ (x γ k g w ng)
- slender ʃ j t̪ʃ⁼ dʒ (sj y tj dj) (Tigol has no slender ŋ)
tt t dd d n nn
- broad θ ð t̪⁼ d̪ n n̪ˠ (θ δ t d n nn)
- slender ʃ j t̪ʃ⁼ dʒ n ɲ (sj y tj dj n nj)
pp/f p bb b m mm
- broad f v p⁼ b v/-ŋ m (f v p b v/-ng m)
- slender fj vj p⁼j bj v mj (fy vy py by v/-nj my)
r rr l ll ṡ ss h
- broad ɾ rˠ w ŋ z s h (r rr w ng z s h)
- slender ɾ r̝ w l ʒ ʃ hj (r rj w l zj sj hy)
In sum, the Judeo-Anbirese consonant phonology is:
- Velars: k⁼ g x γ w ŋ (in Hebrew orthography q g(dag) k(rafe) g(rafe) w ʕ)
- Palatals: tʃ⁼ dʒ ʃ ʒ j ɲ (in Hebrew orthography ṣ dṣ š zš y n' )
- Alveolars: s z n ɾ rˠ r̝ (in Hebrew orthography s z n(rafe) r(rafe) r(dag) r' )
- Dentals: t̪⁼ d̪ θ ð n̪ˠ (in Hebrew orthography ṭ d t(rafe) d(rafe) n(dag) )
- Labials: p⁼ b f v m (in Hebrew orthography p b p(rafe) b(rafe) m)
Vowels
The Judeo-Anbirese vowel system is identical to Italian or Tiberian Hebrew (in stressed syllables).
- אי i (= chiriq) /i/
- איי e (= tzere) /e/
- א ae (= segol) /E/
- אַ a (= patach) /a/
- אָ ŏ (= qamatz) /O/
- אוֹ o (= cholam) /o/
- אוּ u (= shuruq) /u/
Hebrew reading
/u o O a E e i (shva na) (chataf patach) (chataf segol) (chataf qamatz)/ u o ŏ a e ė i ŏ a e ŏ, but some dialects use a instead of ŏ for shva na
