Jüngerriems accent of Reber: retroflex ->alveolar | |||
so ʈʂ, ʈʂʰ, ʂ pronounced as ts, tsʰ, s | |||
Lerzkorren accent: likethe Jüngerriems accent but click free | |||
clicks -> uvulars as in bruusing | |||
Frintermien: retro and click merge | |||
into click | |||
/ʂ/ -> sje | |||
Clofabian Reber: Reber sounds happen to correspond quite neatly to Clofab ones with the hmoob reading so I'll use that | |||
retro -> ʈʰ, ʈ, ʂ | |||
click -> ɴ, qʰ, q | |||
i almost wish Hussmauch had M-Clofab and not Clofab -- then they'd find Reber tones much easier! | |||
<poem> | |||
tone mergers: Jüngerriems and Lerzkorren have something funny going on with tones (retroflexes cause a tone change) | |||
the Keimian accent would be the weirdest | |||
vowel + ng -> nasalized vowel | |||
unaspirated stops are voiced | |||
(and sometimes become fricatives) | |||
vowel + m -> nasalized vowel + w | |||
or maybe no w | |||
clicks become semitic style emphatics | |||
it's perhaps the hardest accent to pull off for someone from HRJ | |||
sorry, vowel + m,n,ng -> nasal vowel + m,n,(optional ng) | |||
vowels get uniformly tensed | |||
ɛ, œ -> e,ø | |||
/i/ can sound like an apical vowel | |||
(think mandarin) | |||
then vocab differences (Etz vs Jeng ...) | |||
keimian tone mergers: | |||
1 2 3 4 5 6-> high falling, mid level, mid falling, mid falling, low level, low level | |||
Nurian accents: one could preserve slender k! | |||
another one could have czech ř for slender r | |||
also you can do weird things with seimhiu/fricatives | |||
