Scellan/Accents: Difference between revisions

Line 119:

Similar to General Fyxoomian, but:

*/θ/ becomes a slit fricative [θ̠]. In broad Cnollta ~~accent~~ it may even become [ʂ], especially after vowels.

*/θ/ becomes a slit fricative [θ̠]. In broad Cnollta accents it may even become [ʂ], especially after vowels.

*/ð/ > [ɹ~ʋ] after vowels.

*Many monophthongs lengthen or diphthongize allophonically:

**The Cnollta accent has a "trap-bath split", but its distribution is more like the Philly tense-a system. Stressed /a/ is pronounced [ɑː] before /m n r f v s z θ ð/ in closed syllables or in final open syllables, and [æ] otherwise. Function words never use tense [ɑː]. For example:

***''saþ'' /saθ/ 'salty' is pronounced [~~sɑθʂ~~] or [sɑːʂ]; however, ''baþa'' 'gun' is pronounced [pæθə].

***''saþ'' /saθ/ 'salty' is pronounced [sɑθ̠] or [sɑːʂ]; however, ''baþa'' 'gun' is pronounced [pæθə].

***''syvŋá'' 'art' is pronounced [səvŋɑː]

***but ''glah'' 'will, intention' is pronounced [kʀæh]
