History

Development from Paleolithic Codes

The history of Aryan taken into account starts with a transition from Atomism to Double Articulation by the dialects of the Low Paleolithic, mostly regarding the Pangaean Code as its ultimate source, next to the influence of the Diluvian and Hyperborean Codes. Although the actor responsible for this transition is a matter of debate even within the experiment, the loss of archaic features is assumed to coincide with the End of the Last Ice Age. At that time (roughly 12000 years Before Present), the loss of strict adherence to the primordial grammar might have allowed sound changes to take place, as seen below.

  • Weak (plosive) stops become aspirated/murmured preceding a laryngeal consonant, as strong (ejective/implosive) stops gain plosive qualities in the same position.

Development into Indo-Anatolian Languages

[...]
The language is demonstrared using two modern Indo-European languages (German and Russian) and two ancient ones (Latin and Greek).

  • /ə/ > */e/ when pretonic or tonic polysyllabic [exception: o-derivation]
  • /ə/ > */o/ when postonic or tonic monosyllabic (*pʰ∅rás > *pʰárs >*pʰórs > *pʰṓr) [exception: o-derivation] *monosyllabic words without pithc accept /e/ instead (*swa > *swe)
  • /əi̯/ > */e/, */aː/ when result of zero-grade (*gain- >*g∅n-tás > *gnaitás > *gnātós, as in Latin gnātus and Greek -γνητός)
  • /ai̯/ > */ai̯/
  • kʰpʰ-
  • kp- > *kʷʰ-

an original click as onset inverts the laryngeals: ǁheħp > tɬeh1p> seh1p an original click as coda preserves both laryngeals: heħʘ̪ > *h1eh2dʷ > sweh2d həħǁ > *h1ah2t͡ɬ > *sent

  • pʰrás

laryngeals turn into vowels and vice-versa

  • mai > *meh1

Consonant clusters

Proto-Indo-European also had numerous consonant clusters, such as *st, *ḱs. In most cases in most languages, each consonant in a cluster develops according to the normal development given in the table above. Many consonant clusters however also show special developments in multiple languages. Some of these are given by the following table (with cases of otherwise predictable development in gray):

In Aryan, personal enclitics are positioned after the first word of a proposition (Wackernagel's Law)

the verb either starts or ends the clause... tendence to follow SOV


  • the finite verb loses accent in an independent clause, except when in first position (always has accent in dependent clause)
  • absolute construction
  • subject is ommitted
  • na pʰaírīt mai
  • pʰaírīt mai na?

h5ígōm, mayás, mai
