The exact nature of stress in PGH is a subject of heated debate in linguistic communities, but the majority agree that it was likely a pitch-accent language in some capacity, where stressed syllables (represented by ◌́ in typical reconstruction notation) are said to have a high tone and unstressed are said to have a low tone. A plurality of scientists further conjecture that stress was dynamic and originally non-phonemic, being a combination of both pitch and another quality usually said to be either volume or place of articulation. However many have pointed out that the majority of scientists in this party are native speakers of [[Hyudrontic languages]], all languages of which have regularly defined non-phonemic stress and many have it indicated by volume alone, and are hence likely biased. | The exact nature of stress in PGH is a subject of heated debate in linguistic communities, but the majority agree that it was likely a pitch-accent language in some capacity, where stressed syllables (represented by ◌́ in typical reconstruction notation) are said to have a high tone and unstressed are said to have a low tone.
