Meskangela: Difference between revisions

|}

Later dialects generally follow the model above, modifying some individual elements, such as adding more permissible clusters, or merging the clusters into single consonants, thus retaining all the elements only nominally. This is especially true for the Southern dialects, most of which became fairly analytic and lost most of their suffixes and prefixes in the process, as well as tone and contrastive vowel length.

In this subsection only the grammar of Classical Meskangela is discussed, considering the amount of variation among different dialect groups and uncertainty of the Old Meskangela morphological structure. Classical Meskangela as well as most of its dialects are [[w:Agglutinative language|agglutinative]], but the individual morphological elements are not easily segmentable, due in large part to the presence of [[w:Portmanteau|portmanteaux]] morphemes and [[w:Allomorph|allomorphy]].
