'''Aryan''' (''*Airás'', [[w:Help:IPA|[əi̯ˈrəs]]]), also referred to as '''Pre-Proto-Indo-European,''' is an [[ab interiori language]] depicting the transition from [[Paleolithic Codes]] to [[w:Proto-Indo-European language|Proto-Indo-European]] (PIE). There are no historical records of its existence, or comparative data to support it; rather, it is an abductive experiment based on the hypothesis of [[Transitional Dialects]].

In the hybrid model, Aryan must have been spoken somewhere near the Caucasus Mountains in compliance with the [[w:Armenian hypothesis|Armenian Hypothesis]], which in its current form holds that the speakers of "Pre-Proto-Indo-European" pertained to the genepool of the [[w:Caucasus hunter-gatherer|Caucasian Hunter-Gatherers]] (CHG)<ref name="Lazaridis et al-2022">Lazaridis et al (2022), ''The genetic history of the Southern Arc: a bridge between West Asia and Europe''</ref>, who would eventually contribute to the formation of the [[w:Yamnaya culture|Yamnaya Culture]] and the dispersion of "Core Proto-Indo-European" as detailed in the [[w:Kurgan hypothesis|Kurgan Hypothesis]]. The age of the language is more controversial, being set between 12,000 and 10,000 years Before Present (BP), or the double of its daughter-language's, to coincide with the notion of [[Linguistic Modernity]].

==Etymology==
The word ''*Ai̯ri̯áh<sub>0</sub>'' is influenced but not based on the Indo-Iranian ethnonym ''*Áryas'' "Aryan", as the root ''*h<sub>5</sub>ir'' "member/comrade" comes from Pangaean ''ʕihr'' "racial person".

===Development from Paleolithic Codes===


The history of Aryan taken into account starts with the transition from Atomism to Double Articulation by the dialects of the Upper Paleolithic, mostly regarding the [[Pangaean Code]] as its ultimate source, next to the influence of the [[Diluvian Code|Diluvian]] and [[Hyperborean Code|Hyperborean]] Codes. Although the actor responsible for this transition is a matter of debate even within the experiment, the loss of archaic features is assumed to coincide with the [[w:Last Glacial Period|End of the Last Ice Age]]. At that time (12,000 BP), the loss of strict adherence to the primordial grammar might have allowed sound changes to take place, as seen below.<br>
The story of Aryan starts with the transition from Atomism to Double Articulation, or from the [[Pangaean Code]] to Neolithic dialects (circa 12,000 BP). Noticeable is the influence of the [[Diluvian Code|Diluvian]] and [[Hyperborean Code|Hyperborean]] Codes, which triggered several sound changes:


*Weak (plosive) stops become aspirated/murmured preceding a laryngeal consonant, as strong (ejective/implosive) stops gain plosive qualities in the same position.<br>

Aryan morphology deals with full-grade (_) and null-grade (∅). 
 
Aryan ''*(á)-s'' [PIE ''*(ó)-s''] forms nouns, as in ''*p<sup>h</sup>árs'' "thief" [PIE ''*b<sup>h</sup>ṓr'' "thief"] from ''*p<sup>h</sup>air'' "bearing".

Aryan ''*(_)-as'' [PIE ''*(é)-os''] forms active animate nouns, as in ''kʰúh<sub>2</sub>as'' "living sound" [PIE ''*ḱlewos'' "fame"]. If the meaning intended is "racial", furthermore, the affix becomes ''*(_)-(a)ras'' [PIE ''*()-(u)ros''], as in ''h<sub>5</sub>ímsaras'' "engenderer" [PIE ''*h<sub>2</sub>ḿ̥suros'' "deity"].

Aryan ''*(a)-ás'' [PIE ''*(o)-ós''] forms passive animate adjectives, as in ... became agentive instead of passive in PIE, but some archaic forms remain, such as *gʰoysós "spear"
In Aryan, roots are either static or mobile. In the first case, they serve as a prototypical source of meaning, impossible to be further decomposed. Otherwise, further analysis is possible through pure consonantal and vocalic segments, treated as "fundamental atoms".


A consonantal root is intrinsically modified by vocalic roots.

''*pʰair-'' "bearing" [n/v] (Latin ferō, Greek φέρω < ''*pʰaírōm'', ''*pʰíprmi'') > ''*pʰaíras'' [bare noun], ''*pʰ∅rás'' "bearer" [adjective-noun] (Latin fūr, Greek φώρ "thief"), ''*pʰáras'' [result-noun] (Greek φόρος "tribute")
*The first-person singular ''*h<sub>5</sub>ih<sub>1</sub>ṓn'' (PIE ''*h<sub>1</sub>eǵHóm'') seems to be a descendent of the primordial form ''ˈʕih-ɔː'' "I" , which would regularly yield stress on the first syllable, yet it is observed that in PIE the consonant <''*ǵ''> appears (probably a consequence from the sound change '''*h<sub>1</sub> ⇒ *ǵ / V_V'''), plus the affixation of <''*n''>, a borrowing from Diluvian ''nao'' "this person".
**In PIE, the emphatic ''*h<sub>1</sub>eǵHóm'' could be interpreted as more archaic than ''*h₁eǵH'', as Homeric Greek ''ἐγών'' and Sanskrit ''अहम्'' suggest. The emphatic particle ''*-om'' (PIE) likely arose due the contaminator <''*m''>.
**The nasal in ''*h<sub>5</sub>ih<sub>1</sub>ṓn'' "I" became <''*m''> primarily due two distinct processes; one phonetic and other phonological. It was either subsequently labialized by the preceding vowel, shortening the nucleus (i.e. /oːn/ ⇒ /own/ ⇒ /om/), and/or swapped by the contaminator ''*m'' based on its inflected forms.
***This sound change affected all other inflections of the first person singular (e.g. ''*nh<sub>0</sub>(m)'' "me" (A) ⇒ ''*mh<sub>0</sub>'' ~ ''*h<sub>0</sub>m'' "me" (?) ⇒ ''*me'' ~ ''*h<sub>1</sub>me'' "me" (PIE)).
*The second-person singular ''*tū́'' (PIE ''*túH'') seems to be a descendent of Diluvian ''taocar'' "the person one refers to", with an unusual vocalic paradigm. If this is correct, a more conservative alternative might have been ''*táu''.
**In PIE, the pronoun ''*túH'' is extremely conservative, found as ''tu'' in Latin, ''σύ'' in Greek, and ''त्वम्'' in Sanskrit, for example. In PIA, though, Hittite ''zīg'' and Palaic ''ti'' suggest Indo-Anatolian ''*tī́''<ref name=Kloekorst>Alwin Kloekorst (2007); [https://archive.org/details/etymological-dictionary-of-the-hittite-inherited-lexicon/mode/1up ''Etymological Dictionary Of The Hittite Inherited Lexicon'']</ref>; although it could also be pointed out that the Anatolitan counterparts might be mere rearrangements from the non-emphatic PIE 1.SG.NOM. ''*h<sub>1</sub>eǵ(ō)'' plus an accusative enclitic of the second-person singular (i.e. ''*te-eǵ'' ⇒ ''*tī́ǵ'' (PA))<ref name=Szemerényi>Oswald Szemerényi (1990); [https://archive.org/details/szemerenyieinfuhrungindievergleichendesprachwissenschaft4thedition1990/mode/2up ''Einführung in die vergleichende Sprachwissenschaft'']</ref><ref name=Petersen>Walter Petersen (1930); [https://www.jstor.org/stable/409118?read-now=1&seq=1#page_scan_tab_contents ''The Inflection of Indo-European Personal Pronouns'']</ref>, or even the result of the palatalization of apical consonants due phonetic height (i.e. ''*'' (PIA) ⇒ ''*tyū'' (?) ⇒ ''*tī'' (PA))<ref name=Melchert>Craig Melchert (1983); [https://linguistics.ucla.edu/people/Melchert/2ndsingularpronoun.pdf ''The Second Singular Personal Pronoun in Anatolian'']</ref>.
*The third-person singulars ''*aī́h<sub>0</sub>i'', ''*aī́h<sub>0</sub>'', and ''*aī́ts'' possess a shorter form when complemented by a noun (e.g. ''*aī́h<sub>0</sub>i'' "he" ⇒ ''*h<sub>0</sub>naī́r h<sub>0</sub>i'' "he, the man"). The reason for this is that in the Codex, pronouns used to be morphologically treated as affixes, and therefore couldn't stand by themselves except when linked to a root (e.g. ''ˈə-e̞ː'' "he/she/it", but not ''**e̞ː'').
**As a result, the clitic counterparts gained a sense as proximal demonstratives in PIE, being evident in forms such as Latin ''is'' "he", ''ea'' "she", and ''id'' "it", whose anaphoric use prohibts them to stand by themselves.
***e.g. ''*h<sub>0</sub>í'' "he" ⇒ ''*h<sub>1</sub>í'' "this/he"; ''*íh<sub>0</sub>'' "she" ⇒ ''*h<sub>1</sub>íh<sub>2</sub>'' "this/she"; ''*íts'' "it" ⇒ ''*h<sub>1</sub>íd'' "this/it".
*Overall, the dual is formed by erasing sounds of the singular, then reduplicating it (e.g. ''*h<sub>5</sub>ih<sub>1</sub>ṓn'' ⇒ ''*ōi̯ṓn''; ''*tū́'' ⇒ ''*ūi̯ū́''; ''*aī́h<sub>0</sub>i'' ⇒ ''*aīaī́''), while the plural is formed by erasing the reduplication of the dual, then adding the serial particle ''*-s-'' (e.g. ''*ōi̯ṓn'' ⇒ ''*ṓns''; ''*ūi̯ū́'' ⇒ ''*ū́s''; ''*aīaī́'' ⇒ ''*aī́s''), and the collective simply does the latter but with the suffix ''*-a'' (e.g. ''*ōi̯ṓn'' ⇒ ''*ṓna''; ''*ūi̯ū́'' ⇒ ''*ū́a''; ''*aīaī́'' ⇒ ''*aī́a''''). Medial ''*i̯'' ~ ''*u̯'' is inserted to avoid diphthongs between reduplicated vowels, and ''*ts'' is applied in other cases when two bordering vowels are similar (except those involving schwas).
**Rather than the nominative of the first and second-person dual/plural in PIE being prehistorical combinations (i.e. ''*u'' 2.SG + ''*e'' 1.SG. +  = ''we'' 1.DU./PL.; ''*i'' 3.SG. + ''*u'' 2.SG = ''*yu'' 2.DU./PL.)<ref name=Seebold>Elmar Seebold (1984); [https://annas-archive.org/md5/e8ece7cab77fe9adeae0052312aa3d89 ''Das System der Personalpronomina in den frühgermanischen Sprachen: Sein Aufbau und seine Herkunft'']</ref>, the dual products of the Aryan patterns would eventually substitute the plural forms of the first and second-person in their nominative equivalents (i.e. ''*ṓns'' "we (plural)" ⇒ ∅, replaced by ''*ōi̯ṓn'' "we (dual)" (A) ⇒ ''*wéy'' "we (plural)" (PIE); ''*ūs'' "you (plural)" ⇒ ∅, replaced by ''*ūi̯ū́'' "you (dual)" (A) ⇒ ''*yū́'' "you (plural)" (PIE)), while their oblique inflections for example would assume other spots in the ancestor of Indo-European languages (i.e. ''*noh<sub>0</sub>(m)'' 1.DU.ACC. (A) ⇒ ''*n̥h<sub>1</sub>wé'' ~ ''*nōh<sub>1</sub>'' 1.DU.ACC. (PIE); ''*i̯uh<sub>0</sub>(m)'' 2.DU.ACC. (A) ⇒ ''*uh<sub>1</sub>wé'' ~ ''*wōh<sub>1</sub>'' 2.DU.ACC. (PIE)).
**The particle <''*m''> gains the property of the serial particle <''*s''> when the latter conflates with the particle ''*ts'' (e.g. third-person plural locative ''*itsim'' instead of ''*itsis''). This contamination was likely encouraged due the abundant presence of ''*m'' in the accusative, and produces an alternative explanation to the hypothesis that the oblique of the first-person plural was''*ms-'' before becoming ''*ns-''<ref name=Sihler>Andrew Sihler (1995); [https://archive.org/details/sihler-andrew-new-comparative-grammar-of-greek-and-latin/mode/2up ''New Comparative Grammar Of Greek And Latin'']</ref>. Later in PIE, not only plural forms (e.g. ''*nsai̯(m)'' 1.PL.DAT. (A) ⇒ ''*n̥sméy'' 1.PL.DAT. (PIE))  would become contaminated, but also singular ones (e.g. ''*iai̯'' "to him" (A) ⇒ ''*h<sub>1</sub>esmōy'' "to him" (PIE)); including verbal affixes (e.g.''*-nas'' 1.PL.VB. (A) ⇒ ''*-mos'' 1.PL.VB. (PIE)).

The most comprehensive summary available on PIE morphosyntax was written by Matthias Fritz in Indo-European Linguistics (Michael Meier-Brügger, 2003), pp. 238-276.
*The reflexive pronoun ''*tsū́r'' derives from an older ''*ū́tsar'' (equivalent to Aryan ''*aítsar'' "this/that one", PIE ''*h<sub>1</sub>íteros'' "(an)other"), itself a borrowing from Diluvian ''aocar'', whose <''*ū́''> portion is still visible in another borrowing into Aryan (i.e. the second-person singular ''*tū́'').
Winfred Philipp Lehmann’s Proto-Indo-European Syntax (1974)
**In PIE, it was reanalyzed as its accusative form (i.e.''*su̯h<sub>0</sub>'' "themselves" ⇒ ''*swé'' "themselves"), thus degrading the dual, plural, and collective inflections.

==Syntax==
 
It goes without saying that orthographic implications are disregarded. In French, for example, the past participle agrees in gender and number if the direct object precedes it (e.g. ''ils auraient hérité la maison'' "they would have inherited the house" et ''ils l'auraient héritée'' "they would have inherited it (the house)"), but the choice between ''-é'', ''-ée'', and ''-ées'' in the participle is ultimately irrelevant phonetically speaking.
 
 
 
почему?
 
I am still here
Je suis encore ici
Ich bin noch hier
Я '''все''' ещё здесь
Hic adhuc sum
 
absolutive of "that" yields "if"
 
Ich dachte, dass ich der Einzige war, der darüber nachdachte
Я думал я один кто об этом подумал...
 
sie sagen, dass morgen will ich arbeiten, um Geld zu verdienen; ich, wer wusste nichts darüber
 
ils disent que demain je veux travailler pour gagner d'argent; moi, qui n'y savais rien pas
 
Subordinate clause... in German, Russian, Latin, and Greek:
 
:''Sie sagen, dass morgen will ich arbeiten, um Geld zu verdienen.''
 
:''Они говорят, что завстра я хачу работат, чтобы зарабатывать деньге.''
 
:''Illi dicent me cras laborare volo ut pecuniam meream.''
 
:They say I want to work tomorrow in order to earn money.
 
 
The hypothetical in French is marked by the imperfect indicative, whereas in Portuguese by the imperfect subjunctive; in German by an auxiliary verb linking the infinite form, while in English the bare preterite states the sense; and Russian applies a conditional/optative particle of subjunctive mood in conjunction with the past tense:
 
: ''Il serait ennuyeux si ils nous '''reconnaissaient''''' [French]
 
: ''Seria irritante se eles nos '''reconhecessem''''' [Portuguese]
 
: ''Es wäre ärgerlich, wenn sie uns '''erkennen würden''''' [German]
 
: ''It would be annoying if they '''recognized''' us'' [English]
 
: ''было бы досадно, если '''бы''' они нас '''узнали''''' [Russian]
 
Ancient indo-european languages, furthermore ... general use of imperfect subjunctive in Latin, while present and aorist optatives in Greek's protasis and apodasis respectively:
 
: ''molestus esset si nos '''recognoscerent''''' [Latin]
 
: ''εἴη ὀχληρός ἄν, εἰ ἡμᾶς '''ἐπιγνοῖεν''''' [Greek]
 
: ... [Sanskrit]
 
 
 
An areal feature of Standard Average Euroepan is the  [...] The perfect in West Germanic Languages such as English and German requires a past participle to be modified by either the verb "to be" or "to have":
 
: ''ich bin ins Haus '''gewesen''''' [German]
 
: ''I have '''been''' in the house'' [English]
 
What determines the use of "to be" or "to have" is the distinction between "motionless" and "motive" verbs, as seen in French and German:
 
: ''je '''suis''' allé à la maison'' [French]
 
: ''ich '''bin''' nach Hause gegangen'' [German]
 
 
In German, the auxiliary ''werden'' is obligatory in the passive voice:
 
''Ich werde gezwungen, die Wahrheit zu zählen'' [German]
 
 
 
[...]
 
: ''als ob du auf der Flucht gewesen wärst''
 
: ''as if you had been on the run''
 
[...]
 
: ''er lehnte es ab, sich zu der sogennanten Affäre zu beschreiben''
 
 
===Implications of agreement===
 
There is a tendence for heavy agreement to lead to lax syntax. Vide the Latin sentence, wherein cases reprove ambiguity:
 
: ''Maenala trānsieram latebrīs horrenda ferārum'' [Latin<ref name=Ovidius>Ovidius; [https://hypotactic.com/latin/index.html?Use%20Id=met1 Metamorphoses]; 1.216</ref>]
:: "I had travelled over horrendous Maenalus, through the lairs of beasts"
 
Oddities in agreement, on the other hand, reveal oddities in syntax. In Portuguese, for example, the relative determiner ''cujo/cuja'' necessarily precedes the noun, yet the equivalent genderles expression ''ao qual'' allows the noun to be farther away into the clause. Likewise, in French, the relative determiner ''dont'' doesn't agree with the noun, and therefore can be separated as well. Compare the translation of "the man whose existence I do not know" in both instances and languages:
 
(1) ''o homem '''cuja existência''' eu não conheço'' [Portuguese]
: ''l'homme '''dont''' '''l'existence''''' je ne connais pas  [French]
 
(2) ''o homem '''ao qual''' eu não conheço a '''existência''''' [Portuguese]
: ''l'homme '''dont''' je ne connais pas '''l'existence''''' [French]
 
===Enclitics===
 
[...]
 
By examining a large corpus of hellenic texts, Jakob Wackernagel stated in his essay how enclitics in Greek sentences are mostly located in the second position<ref name=Wackernagel>Jakob Wackernagel (1892); [https://archive.org/details/indogermanischef01berluoft/page/332/mode/2up ''Über ein Gesetz der indogermanischen Worstellung'']</ref>. For example, he contrasted specifically the accusative of the first-person pronoun in the isolated (''ἐμέ'') and enclitic (''με'') forms:
 
<blockquote>Besonders belehrend sind aber die paar Inschriften mit ''ἐμέ''. Zweimal steht dieses ''ἐμέ'' auch an zweiter Stelle: IGA. 20,8 (Korinth) ''᾿Απολλόδωρος ἐμὲ ἀνέθ[ηκε]'' und Gazette archéol. 1888 S. 168 ''Μεναΐδας ἐμ’ ἐποί(ϝ)εςε Χαρόπ(ι)''. Aber sechsmal steht ''ἐμέ'' anders: Klein S.39 ''Ἐξηκίας ἔγραψε κἀπόηςε ἐμέ'' (Vers?) 5. 40 ''Ἑξηκίας ἔγραψε κἀ(ι)ποίης᾽ ἐμέ'' (Vers?). S.''ΟῚ Χαριταῖος ἐποίηςεν ἔμ᾽ εὖ''. 8. 82 ''Ἑρμογένης ἐποίηςεν ἐμέ''. 8.85 ''Ἑρμογένης ἐποίηςεν ἐνέ'' (liess ''ἐμέ''). S. 85 ''Σακωνίδης ἔγραψεν ἐμέ''. Diese Stellen zeigen, dass die regelmässige Stellung von ''με'' hinter dem ersten Wort nicht zufällig und dass sie durch seine enklitische Natur bedingt ist. [Vgl. noch die Nachträge.]</blockquote>

Aryan (*Ai̯ri̯áh0, [əi̯ˈri̯əʔ]), also referred to as Pre-Proto-Indo-European, is an ab interiori language depicting the transition from Paleolithic Codes to Proto-Indo-European (PIE). There are no historical records of its existence, or comparative data to support it; rather, it is an abductive experiment based on the hypothesis of Transitional Dialects.

In most of known History, indo-european speaking populations have been widespread in Eurasia, bearing fruits from civilizations such as those of the Roman Empire, the Hellenistic City-States, and the Rigvedic Tribes. Memorable personalities who spoke natively dialects from those areas include the roman general Julius Caesar (speaker of Latin), the macedonian king Alexander the Great (speaker of Ancient Greek), the nazi chancellor Adolf Hitler (speaker of German), the french emperor Napoleon Bonaparte (speaker of Corsican), the british physicist Isaac Newton (speaker of English), the italian renascentist Leoanardo da Vinci (speaker of Tuscan Italian), the indian ascetic Gautama Buddha (speaker of Prakrit), et cetera. Also, due the trajectory of the linguistic stock along the millenia, some of the most culturally influential works of Literature have been yielded, such as the Vulgate, the Iliad, and the Vedas. As of the 21st Century, half of the world's population speaks 454 indo-european languages[1], with the Americas, Europe, Iran, Pakistan, and India being today the centers of native speakers due the Indo-European Migrations and European Colonialism.

Naturally, the origin of the indo-european family has attracted the curiosity of thousands of researchers in the last centuries, since William Jones' presidential discourse to the Asiatic Society in 1786[2], which famously addressed the similarity between Sanskrit and european languages. Further works that [...]

In the hybrid model, Aryan must have been spoken somewhere near the Caucasus Mountains in compliance with the Armenian Hypothesis, which in its current form holds that the speakers of "Pre-Proto-Indo-European" pertained to the genepool of the Caucasian Hunter-Gatherers (CHG)[3], who would eventually contribute to the formation of the Yamnaya Culture and the dispersion of "Core Proto-Indo-European" as detailed in the Kurgan Hypothesis. The age of the language is more controversial, being set between 12,000 and 10,000 years Before Present (BP), or the double of its daughter-language's, to coincide with the notion of Linguistic Modernity.

Etymology

The word *Ai̯ri̯áh0 is influenced but not based on the Indo-Iranian ethnonym *Áryas "Aryan", as the root *h5ir "member/comrade" comes from Pangaean ʕihr "racial person".

History

Development from Paleolithic Codes

The story of Aryan starts with the transition from Atomism to Double Articulation, or from the Pangaean Code to Neolithic dialects (circa 12,000 BP). Noticeable is the influence of the Diluvian and Hyperborean Codes, which triggered several sound changes:

  • Weak (plosive) stops become aspirated/murmured preceding a laryngeal consonant, as strong (ejective/implosive) stops gain plosive qualities in the same position.

In Morphology, Aryan introduced a series of innovations by mixing and developing peculiarities from different Paleolithic Codes. The Hyperborean nominative -s for example was probably borrowed via another caucasian substrate, which completely assumed the role of epenthetic root (next to Aryan *-ar) in the construction "ROOT1 ROOT2". Primordial [ˈn̠ʕih ˈə] "old" would therefore yield *knīás "old" (=*knih1 *ás) [PIE *sénos "old"]. Furthermore, this development culminated into the Indo-European Ablaut. That is: when the accent falls into the epenthetic root, the first root suffers a phonetic change influenced by the interaction between laryngeals and vowels, which fuse into diphthongs or long vowels. This effect is considered a reflex of Umlaut in the Pangaean Code, where guttural fricatives can alternate between their vocalic equivalents and even modify the qualities of the nucleus.

Consonant clusters

Proto-Indo-European also had numerous consonant clusters, such as *st, *ḱs. In most cases in most languages, each consonant in a cluster develops according to the normal development given in the table above. Many consonant clusters however also show special developments in multiple languages. Some of these are given by the following table (with cases of otherwise predictable development in gray):

Historical and Geographical Distribution

Since Lazaridis et al's paper[3], absence of Eastern European Hunter-Gatherer (EHG) ancestry in the Anatolian component of the Indo-European speaking populations has suggested a caucasian homeleand for earlier stages of PIE rather than a pre-Yamnaya pontic continuance. Recent studies[4][5], furthermore, point to a total farming economy by the Zagros around 6,000 BC, which tempts an older dating for a Transitional Dialect such as Aryan.

Phonology

Consonants

Aryan is reconstructed as having 36 consonants, with an assumption made that it would have maintained the basic inventory of the Pangaean Code in some form. In comparison, PIE is often reconstructed as having 24 consonants.

Labial Alveolar Palatal Velar Pharyngeal Glottal
Nasal Voiceless
Voiced m n
Plosive Voiceless p t k ʔ
Voiced b d g
Aspirated ph th kh
Murmured bɦ dɦ gɦ
Fricative Voiceless s x ħ h
Voiced z ɣ ʕ ɦ
Vibrant Voiceless
Voiced r
Lateral Voiceless t͡ɬ
Voiced l
Approximant Voiceless
Voiced j w
  • The most promiment feature of the Aryan inventory is the presence of laryngeals [...] it possessess 7 in total: <*h>0 /ʔ/, <*h>1 /h/, <*h>2 /ħ/, <*h>3 /x/, <*h>4 /ɦ/, <*h>5 /ʕ/, <*h>6 /ɣ/

Vowels

While the simplicity of the vocalic inventory of PIE (constituted exclusively of *e, *o, , and , ignoring allophones of syllabic consonants and diphthongs with sonorants) has inspired some researchers to draw connections with language families of similar conditions near the Pontic–Caspian Steppe, such as the Pontic Hypothesis witht the Northwest Caucasian Languages, Aryan is reconstructed instead with a rich system of monophthongs, diphthongs, and even triphthongs.

Aryan *(_)-as [PIE *(é)-os] forms active animate nouns, as in kʰúh2as "living sound" [PIE *ḱlewos "fame"]. If the meaning intended is "racial", furthermore, the affix becomes *(_)-(a)ras [PIE *(∅)-(u)ros], as in h5ímsaras "engenderer" [PIE *h2ḿ̥suros "deity"].

Aryan *(∅)-ás [PIE *(e)-ós] forms active animate adjectives, as in ...

Aryan *(á)-as [PIE *(ó)-os] forms passive animate nouns, as in *pháras "what is born" [PIE *bhóros "what is brought"]

Aryan *(a)-ás [PIE *(o)-ós] forms passive animate adjectives, as in ... became agentive instead of passive in PIE, but some archaic forms remain, such as *gʰoysós "spear"

Aryan *(_)-ar [PIE *([é/ó)-r̥] forms active inanimate nouns, as in *húdar "water" [PIE *wódr̥ "water"]

Aryan *(∅)-ár forms active inanimate adjectives.

Aryan *(á)-ar forms passive inanimate nouns.

Aryan *(a)-ár forms passive inanimate adjectives.

Root

In Aryan, roots are either static or mobile. In the first case, they serve as a prototypical source of meaning, impossible to be further decomposed. Otherwise, further analysis is possible through pure consonantal and vocalic segments, treated as "fundamental atoms".

A consonantal root is intrinsically modified by vocalic roots.

  • pʰair < action root *p "bearing" + class root *h5ih1 "person" + epenthetic *r

Clitic

In Aryan, clitics, similarly to tones, became fossilized as affixes.

Ablaut

Case

Aryan possesses 5 primary cases (nominative, accusative, genitive, locative, and dative), with X secondary cases seen as borrowed affixes. [...] In PIE, the secondary forms of the genitive and dative became canonic in some pronouns and noun declensions, as the development of "mine" and "to you" show:

*aiǵṓn, *nn (Aryan) ⇒ *h1eǵóm, *méne (PIE) ⇒ अहम्, मम (Sanskrit)
*tū́, *tu̯pʰa (Aryan) ⇒ *tuH, *tébʰi (PIE) ⇒ tu, tibi (Latin)

  • The first-person singular *h5ih1ṓn (PIE *h1eǵHóm) seems to be a descendent of the primordial form ˈʕih-ɔː "I" , which would regularly yield stress on the first syllable, yet it is observed that in PIE the consonant <> appears (probably a consequence from the sound change *h1 ⇒ *ǵ / V_V), plus the affixation of <*n>, a borrowing from Diluvian nao "this person".
    • In PIE, the emphatic *h1eǵHóm could be interpreted as more archaic than *h₁eǵH, as Homeric Greek ἐγών and Sanskrit अहम् suggest. The emphatic particle *-om (PIE) likely arose due the contaminator <*m>.
    • The nasal in *h5ih1ṓn "I" became <*m> primarily due two distinct processes; one phonetic and other phonological. It was either subsequently labialized by the preceding vowel, shortening the nucleus (i.e. /oːn/ ⇒ /own/ ⇒ /om/), and/or swapped by the contaminator *m based on its inflected forms.
      • This sound change affected all other inflections of the first person singular (e.g. *nh0(m) "me" (A) ⇒ *mh0 ~ *h0m "me" (?) ⇒ *me ~ *h1me "me" (PIE)).
  • The second-person singular *tū́ (PIE *túH) seems to be a descendent of Diluvian taocar "the person one refers to", with an unusual vocalic paradigm. If this is correct, a more conservative alternative might have been *táu.
    • In PIE, the pronoun *túH is extremely conservative, found as tu in Latin, σύ in Greek, and त्वम् in Sanskrit, for example. In PIA, though, Hittite zīg and Palaic ti suggest Indo-Anatolian *tī́[7]; although it could also be pointed out that the Anatolitan counterparts might be mere rearrangements from the non-emphatic PIE 1.SG.NOM. *h1eǵ(ō) plus an accusative enclitic of the second-person singular (i.e. *te-eǵ*tī́ǵ (PA))[8][9], or even the result of the palatalization of apical consonants due phonetic height (i.e. *tū (PIA) ⇒ *tyū (?) ⇒ *tī (PA))[10].
  • The third-person singulars *aī́h0i, *aī́h0, and *aī́ts possess a shorter form when complemented by a noun (e.g. *aī́h0i "he" ⇒ *h0naī́r h0i "he, the man"). The reason for this is that in the Codex, pronouns used to be morphologically treated as affixes, and therefore couldn't stand by themselves except when linked to a root (e.g. ˈə-e̞ː "he/she/it", but not **e̞ː).
    • As a result, the clitic counterparts gained a sense as proximal demonstratives in PIE, being evident in forms such as Latin is "he", ea "she", and id "it", whose anaphoric use prohibts them to stand by themselves.
      • e.g. *h0í "he" ⇒ *h1í "this/he"; *íh0 "she" ⇒ *h1íh2 "this/she"; *íts "it" ⇒ *h1íd "this/it".
  • Overall, the dual is formed by erasing sounds of the singular, then reduplicating it (e.g. *h5ih1ṓn*ōi̯ṓn; *tū́*ūi̯ū́; *aī́h0i*aīaī́), while the plural is formed by erasing the reduplication of the dual, then adding the serial particle *-s- (e.g. *ōi̯ṓn*ṓns; *ūi̯ū́*ū́s; *aīaī́*aī́s), and the collective simply does the latter but with the suffix *-a (e.g. *ōi̯ṓn*ṓna; *ūi̯ū́*ū́a; *aīaī́*aī́a''). Medial *i̯ ~ *u̯ is inserted to avoid diphthongs between reduplicated vowels, and *ts is applied in other cases when two bordering vowels are similar (except those involving schwas).
    • Rather than the nominative of the first and second-person dual/plural in PIE being prehistorical combinations (i.e. *u 2.SG + *e 1.SG. + = we 1.DU./PL.; *i 3.SG. + *u 2.SG = *yu 2.DU./PL.)[11], the dual products of the Aryan patterns would eventually substitute the plural forms of the first and second-person in their nominative equivalents (i.e. *ṓns "we (plural)" ⇒ ∅, replaced by *ōi̯ṓn "we (dual)" (A) ⇒ *wéy "we (plural)" (PIE); *ūs "you (plural)" ⇒ ∅, replaced by *ūi̯ū́ "you (dual)" (A) ⇒ *yū́ "you (plural)" (PIE)), while their oblique inflections for example would assume other spots in the ancestor of Indo-European languages (i.e. *noh0(m) 1.DU.ACC. (A) ⇒ *n̥h1 ~ *nōh1 1.DU.ACC. (PIE); *i̯uh0(m) 2.DU.ACC. (A) ⇒ *uh1 ~ *wōh1 2.DU.ACC. (PIE)).
    • The particle <*m> gains the property of the serial particle <*s> when the latter conflates with the particle *ts (e.g. third-person plural locative *itsim instead of *itsis). This contamination was likely encouraged due the abundant presence of *m in the accusative, and produces an alternative explanation to the hypothesis that the oblique of the first-person plural was*ms- before becoming *ns-[12]. Later in PIE, not only plural forms (e.g. *nsai̯(m) 1.PL.DAT. (A) ⇒ *n̥sméy 1.PL.DAT. (PIE)) would become contaminated, but also singular ones (e.g. *iai̯ "to him" (A) ⇒ *h1esmōy "to him" (PIE)); including verbal affixes (e.g.*-nas 1.PL.VB. (A) ⇒ *-mos 1.PL.VB. (PIE)).

    • In PIE, it was reanalyzed as its accusative form (i.e.*su̯h0 "themselves" ⇒ *swé "themselves"), thus degrading the dual, plural, and collective inflections.

Syntax

It goes without saying that orthographic implications are disregarded. In French, for example, the past participle agrees in gender and number if the direct object precedes it (e.g. ils auraient hérité la maison "they would have inherited the house" et ils l'auraient héritée "they would have inherited it (the house)"), but the choice between , -ée, and -ées in the participle is ultimately irrelevant phonetically speaking.


почему?

I am still here Je suis encore ici Ich bin noch hier Я все ещё здесь Hic adhuc sum

absolutive of "that" yields "if"

Ich dachte, dass ich der Einzige war, der darüber nachdachte Я думал я один кто об этом подумал...

sie sagen, dass morgen will ich arbeiten, um Geld zu verdienen; ich, wer wusste nichts darüber

ils disent que demain je veux travailler pour gagner d'argent; moi, qui n'y savais rien pas

Subordinate clause... in German, Russian, Latin, and Greek:

Sie sagen, dass morgen will ich arbeiten, um Geld zu verdienen.
Они говорят, что завстра я хачу работат, чтобы зарабатывать деньге.
Illi dicent me cras laborare volo ut pecuniam meream.
They say I want to work tomorrow in order to earn money.


The hypothetical in French is marked by the imperfect indicative, whereas in Portuguese by the imperfect subjunctive; in German by an auxiliary verb linking the infinite form, while in English the bare preterite states the sense; and Russian applies a conditional/optative particle of subjunctive mood in conjunction with the past tense:

Il serait ennuyeux si ils nous reconnaissaient [French]
Seria irritante se eles nos reconhecessem [Portuguese]
Es wäre ärgerlich, wenn sie uns erkennen würden [German]
It would be annoying if they recognized us [English]
было бы досадно, если бы они нас узнали [Russian]

Ancient indo-european languages, furthermore ... general use of imperfect subjunctive in Latin, while present and aorist optatives in Greek's protasis and apodasis respectively:

molestus esset si nos recognoscerent [Latin]
εἴη ὀχληρός ἄν, εἰ ἡμᾶς ἐπιγνοῖεν [Greek]
... [Sanskrit]


An areal feature of Standard Average Euroepan is the [...] The perfect in West Germanic Languages such as English and German requires a past participle to be modified by either the verb "to be" or "to have":

ich bin ins Haus gewesen [German]
I have been in the house [English]

What determines the use of "to be" or "to have" is the distinction between "motionless" and "motive" verbs, as seen in French and German:

je suis allé à la maison [French]
ich bin nach Hause gegangen [German]


In German, the auxiliary werden is obligatory in the passive voice:

Ich werde gezwungen, die Wahrheit zu zählen [German]


[...]

als ob du auf der Flucht gewesen wärst
as if you had been on the run

[...]

er lehnte es ab, sich zu der sogennanten Affäre zu beschreiben


Implications of agreement

There is a tendence for heavy agreement to lead to lax syntax. Vide the Latin sentence, wherein cases reprove ambiguity:

Maenala trānsieram latebrīs horrenda ferārum [Latin[13]]
"I had travelled over horrendous Maenalus, through the lairs of beasts"

Oddities in agreement, on the other hand, reveal oddities in syntax. In Portuguese, for example, the relative determiner cujo/cuja necessarily precedes the noun, yet the equivalent genderles expression ao qual allows the noun to be farther away into the clause. Likewise, in French, the relative determiner dont doesn't agree with the noun, and therefore can be separated as well. Compare the translation of "the man whose existence I do not know" in both instances and languages:

(1) o homem cuja existência eu não conheço [Portuguese]

l'homme dont l'existence je ne connais pas [French]

(2) o homem ao qual eu não conheço a existência [Portuguese]

l'homme dont je ne connais pas l'existence [French]

Enclitics

[...]

By examining a large corpus of hellenic texts, Jakob Wackernagel stated in his essay how enclitics in Greek sentences are mostly located in the second position[14]. For example, he contrasted specifically the accusative of the first-person pronoun in the isolated (ἐμέ) and enclitic (με) forms:

Besonders belehrend sind aber die paar Inschriften mit ἐμέ. Zweimal steht dieses ἐμέ auch an zweiter Stelle: IGA. 20,8 (Korinth) ᾿Απολλόδωρος ἐμὲ ἀνέθ[ηκε] und Gazette archéol. 1888 S. 168 Μεναΐδας ἐμ’ ἐποί(ϝ)εςε Χαρόπ(ι). Aber sechsmal steht ἐμέ anders: Klein S.39 Ἐξηκίας ἔγραψε κἀπόηςε ἐμέ (Vers?) 5. 40 Ἑξηκίας ἔγραψε κἀ(ι)ποίης᾽ ἐμέ (Vers?). S.ΟῚ Χαριταῖος ἐποίηςεν ἔμ᾽ εὖ. 8. 82 Ἑρμογένης ἐποίηςεν ἐμέ. 8.85 Ἑρμογένης ἐποίηςεν ἐνέ (liess ἐμέ). S. 85 Σακωνίδης ἔγραψεν ἐμέ. Diese Stellen zeigen, dass die regelmässige Stellung von με hinter dem ersten Wort nicht zufällig und dass sie durch seine enklitische Natur bedingt ist. [Vgl. noch die Nachträge.]
