===Western (Extinct)=== | |||
Another documented dialect is Western Grekelin, which can also be considered a seperate language. It was spoken in Eastern Austria from a tiny group of people in the 17th century, before going extinct. | |||
It's main feature was the loss of multiple sounds within the language, such as /ð/, /ɣ/, /θ/ and /d͡ʒ/, sounds that are very common in the other varieties of Grekelin. For example: | |||
**Standard Grekelin (IPA)**: | |||
[ɑː pʊˈɭɑːd͡ʒi ɱiː kiˈpʰɑːɣæ ɛɣʲ ˈɭɛːmɛʒi pʰɑˈɪː] | |||
**Western Grekelin (IPA)**: | |||
[a uˈlaˑʃi me ˈkepfaɡeŋ eŋ ˈt͡ɕaʈa pfaˈɡeŋ] | |||
The language shows clearer German influence rather than Hungarian or Slavic, which may mean that it does not fall within the scope of Grekelin itself but another, similarly developed language that had a parallel course with Proto-Grekelin. | |||
