*Airáh0
Pronunciation	[əi̯ˈrəʔ]
Created by	Veno
Setting	Caucasus Mountains
Era	c.10,000–8,000 BC
Language family	Pangaean Code Aryan
Early form	Transitional Dialect
Writing system	Latin

Aryan (*Airáh₀, pronounced /əi̯ˈrəʔ/) is an ab interiori language depicting the transition from Paleolithic Codes to the earliest stages of the Proto-Indo-European language (PIE) thousands of years before its expansion. There are no historical records of its existence, or comparative data to support it; rather, it is an abductive experiment based on the hypothesis of Transitional Dialects.

Aryan must have been spoken somewhere near the Caucasus Mountains in compliance with the Armenian Hypothesis, which in its current form holds that the speakers of "Pre-Proto-Indo-European" pertained to the genepool of the Caucasian Hunter-Gatherers (CHG), who would eventually contribute to the formation of the Yamnaya Culture and the dispersion of "Core Proto-Indo-European" as detailed in the Kurgan Hypothesis. The age of the language is more controversial, being set between 12,000 and 10,000 years Before Present (BP), or the double of its daughter-language's, to coincide with the notion of Linguistic Modernity.

History

Development from Paleolithic Codes

The history of Aryan taken into account starts with the transition from Atomism to Double Articulation by the dialects of the Upper 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 (12,000 BP), 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.

• The production of aspirated/murmured series contaminates the regular sounds, whose qualities of WEAK and STRONG are rearranged to accomodate [[w:Aspirated consonant|Aspiration]/Breathy Voice instead of Ejection/Implosion.

• Sonorants, contrary to the stop series, remain conserved when onset; however, they collapse as voiced codas.

In Morphology, Aryan introduced a series of innovations by mixing and developing peculiarities from different Paleolithic Codes. The Hyperborean nominative -s for example was probably borrowed via another caucasian substrate, which completely assumed the role of epenthetic root in the construction "ROOT₁ ROOT₂". Primordial [ˈn̠ʕih ˈə] "old" would therefore yield *knaiás "old" (=*knaí *ás) [PIE *sénos "old"]. Furthermore, this development culminated into the Indo-European Ablaut. That is: when the accent falls into the epenthetic root, the first root suffers a phonetic change influenced by the interaction between laryngeals and vowels, which fuse into diphthongs or long vowels. This effect is considered a reflex of Umlaut in the Pangaean Code, where guttural fricatives can alternate between their vocalic equivalents and even modify the qualities of the nucleus.

Development into Indo-European Languages

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

Primordial elements transitioned into particles in Aryan. That is: Aryan roots could be changed back then. Those were the mobile roots. For example: *dʷ survived as PIE *-id, which was a particle used to indicate comestibles.

• pʰrás

laryngeals turn into vowels and vice-versa

Notes for table 1:

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):

Historical and Geographical Distribution

Since Lazaridis et al's paper, absence of Eastern European Hunter-Gatherer (EHG) ancestry in the Anatolian component of the Indo-European speaking populations has suggested a caucasian homeleand for earlier stages of PIE rather than a pre-Yamnaya pontic continuance. Recent studies, furthermore, point to a total farming economy by the Zagros around 6,000 BC, which tempts an older dating for a Transitional Dialect such as Aryan.

Intersegmentals

Consonants

Aryan is reconstructed as having 36 consonants, with an assumption made that it would have maintained the inventory of the Pangaean Code in some form.

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
