Diachronics
Diglossia
Spoken Windermere is pretty much the same in all three continents, except for accent and a few vocabulary differences.
The Wen Dămea language is heavily diglossic: the literature and newscasts use a language much closer to Classical Windermere. [If this were Netagin I'd also include "the upper classes use the normative vocalization". Can Windermere do sth like this - little grammar and morphological rules that ppl can break all the time, and not big grammar differences?] Written Windermere in Fəxom and Bjeheond is very close to the spoken language.
Phonological history
- In Talman Windermere, ə > 0 after aspirated consonants and fricatives. This makes the voicing alternation in the Classical Wdm. spirants f and th phonemic.
- r > ɹ in the Bjeheond dialect (Talma has an Icelandic/Philly accent and Bjeheond has a British RP-ish accent)
- r > ɹ or ʋʴ in the Palkhan dialect
- l > ʟ in the Wen Dămea and Palkhan dialects
Grammatical history
- Aspect largely becomes a derivational device, cf. the development of PIE aspects
- Grammaticalization of conjugated auxiliaries, leading to a tense system.
