Fruwi: Difference between revisions

Fruwi is a [https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Sapirs-morphological-classification-of-languages_tbl1_344321331 agglutinative analytic] language, because while verbs may be aggluutinative, and while nouns have one suffix for plurals, the syntax generally has many unbound morphemes. Though the Haishi dialects are more isolating, they are still agglutinative and analytic.

The arrows indicate that the languages were not evolved from the language on the other side of the arrow, but have been affected in some way, like borrowing a large amount of vocabulary, or affecting sound changes, or even affecting the name.

The Lexicon a priori is split into two lexicons: Late Lexicon; for words that could have only emerged in Late Proto-Fruwi, and the Early Lexicon; For words that could have emerged in Early Proto-Fruwi. This is because many words in Fruwi & Russo & Funris do not have a syllable structure that could have evolved from Early Proto-Fruwi, but they could have emerged Late Proto-Fruwi. This is not to say the Early Lexicon words all emerged in Early Proto-Fruwi, as they could have emerged earlier or later, and the words in Late Proto-Fruwi could have also emerged later, but obviously not later.

* Though, if it is the subject of a sentence, everything on from the verb has a falling intonation /↘︎/

* Though, the final "or not", '''<>''', found in yes-no questions, also has a rising intonation /↗︎/

syllable structure is: (C)(C)V(V)(C)(C)

a more specific version is:  (CA)V(V)(RC) & GV(V)

* Syllable: /Approximant, Trill, Radical, Vowel/→ same voicing as closest consonant

** /sr/→[sr̊], /zr/→[zr̬] /fru/→[fr̊ᵛůᵛ]
