Heracliotic Greek: Difference between revisions

Nasalisation has no morphological or phonemic significance in mainstream Heracliot and is not indicated in any orthography. The Island of Aia Rava however elides nasals in the syllable coda while maintaining nasalisation effects on plosives. Consequently the Aiaravot dialect promotes the nasalisation process to a full mutation and introduces a three-way phonemic distinction between aspirated, unaspirated and voiced plosives. Few attempt to indicate the mutation in writing outside of literature, although Aiaravots often write the silent (to them) Heracliot final nasals erratically.
