Naeng: Difference between revisions

Standard Windermere intonation is like Israeli Hebrew except it's more stress-timed. In certain accents of Windermere, especially in the Wieb region, stressed syllables with a final voiceless consonant are pronounced with a rising tone and other stressed syllables with a falling tone. In contemporary Wieb Windermere final voicing is no longer contrastive, having entirely been replaced with tone -- Wieb Windermere can be analyzed as having four tones.
