High Kzholtag: Difference between revisions

Sequences of back and front continuants can behave extremely irregularly because of syllabification. For instance:

“Zhğğzh (a type of fermented broth) is bubbling.”

“That zhhğğzh is bubbling.”

Note in the second example that [ˈʑɣ̞̍.ˈʎ̍.ʑi] is accurate and not [ˈʑɣ̞̍.ˈʎʝ̞̍.i] - syllabic consonants cannot occur next to syllabic resonants. This will only alter pronunciation within the word, its effects will not extend throughout the clause:
