Proto-Idavic had a distinction between dental and alveolar~retroflex consonants, which survives in [[Netagin]]. It is thought to have had no labials except /m/; labials were gained in later stages but in different ways.

Idavic or Idavo-Etalocian is a Trician language family which includes Dodellic. The urheimat is central-western Etalocin.

Inspiration: Afro-Asiatic, IE

How does this become Netagin tricons?

Family tree

  • Idavic
    • Netagic (the only tricons branch)
    • Nabŋaic
    • Pategic
      • Dodellic
      • sth with Sanskrit stops (but vowels shouldn't be Sanskrit-y; a bit more like Lithuanian?)
      • Pategian

Phonology

Proto-Idavic had a distinction between dental and alveolar~retroflex consonants, which survives in Netagin. It is thought to have had no labials except /m/; labials were gained in later languages but in different ways.

Labial Front coronal Back coronal Front velar Back velar Labiovelar Glottal
Nasal m /m/ n /n̪~n̠/ ŋ /ɲ~ŋ/
Plosive voiceless t /t̪/ ť /t̠/ /k̟/ k /k̠/ /kʷ/ q /ʔ/
voiced d /d̪/ ď /d̠/ ǵ /g̟/ g /g̠/ /gʷ/
Fricative s /s̟/ š /s̠/ /x̟/ x /x̠/ /xʷ/ h /h/
Affricate c /t̪s̟/
Resonant l /l̪/ r /r~ɾ/, ř /ɻ/ y /j/ w /w/
  • Vowels: a e i u ā ē ī ū
  • Pitch accent: modal (á), creaky (ã)
    • Creaky voice is the source of glottal reinforcement in Shalaian and vowel shifts in Netagin.

Shalaian diachronics

  • b > v; ɓ > b; g > y, kh, or CL; j > ʒ; ng > ng3 > n3
  • Grimm's law: p t č kʷ q > f θ ʃ x H
  • q G q' > H ayin q
  • further shifts: kʷ' > kʷ > xʷ
  • Vowel shifts: ā > ō > /əʊ/, u > /ɒ/, iw > /ju:/
  • final -ā -ī shorten to -a -i
  • Loss of initial glottal stop, then loss of non-prevocalic /r/
  • Historical long vowels (also /ɑː/ from historical /ar/) shorten before /ʕ/
  • H and ayin merge with /h/ and hamza

Phonotactics

Morphology

Triconsonantal but only Netagin preserves this

Syntax

Lifted from German: V2, SAuxOV, verb final in subordinate clauses


Todo: separable prefixes
