Main Page: user:Aleisi Galan This page covers the potential evolution of a Polish-Carpathian based Romance language with a large amount of Slavic influence and a divergent evolution both in vocabulary and grammar. It covers the evolution in stages, with both the phonological and morphological covered.

Phonology and Orthography of Sabian

The phonology and orthography of Modern-Sabian as finalised in the year 1934 after a period of standardisation following the end of WW1. The 1934 orthography effectively served to regularise the mediaeval spellings of Sabian words, in turn based off of mediaeval Polish, and as such is similar to modern Polish orthography while retaining many archaic features that have since been lost elsewhere.

Consonant Phonology

  • The consonant on the left is "hard", while the consonant on the right is "soft". If only one consonant is present, it is probably only soft.

  1. these voiced consonants are allohphones of their voiceless counterparts, and so are written as though they are voiceless.
  2. v is used for native words, and w for loans from Polish and German in most cases.
  3. rz is used if the /ʃ/ comes from /rʲ/, while sz and sch are used in all other situations.
