Verse:Lõis/Indo-Iranian languages: Difference between revisions

One Middle Persian dialect in Lõis has a retroflex glissando liquid /ɭ͢d̪/ from PIIr *rd, instead of /l/ as in other dialects: ''guḷd-i-ḷdāḷd'' "red rose". Naušahri descends from this dialect, and ḷd reflexes as /ð/: ''guđ đođ'' /guð ðoð/.

Late Middle Persian in Lõis has the phonological innovations associated with Modern Persian in our timeline, like some words have w -> b. (read: it's basically Modern Persian minus the Arabic vocab, and with conservative vowels/contrastive vowel length)
