Although general grammar remains very similar, prepositions become more frequent due to a lack of cases. | Although general grammar remains very similar, prepositions become more frequent due to a lack of cases. Some sociolects may also lack the neuter gender, fully merging it with the masculine or the feminine (via the plural form). There are also many [[w:Ethnolect|ethnolects]] influenced by regional languages, such as the Lutho-Emilian ethnolect, who has its grammar and vocabulary largely affected and influenced by the [[w:Emilian dialects|Emilian dialects]]. The orthography may also be affected, since Upper Luthic lacks a regulatory body: | ||
* ⟨gi⟩ or ⟨j⟩ for /ʒ/: Standard Luthic ''giâ'' [ˈd͡ʒa], Upper Luthic ''gia'' or ''ja'' [ʒɐ]; | |||
* ⟨ġl⟩ or ⟨lh⟩ for /ʎ/: Standard Luthic ''ġli'' [ʎi], Upper Luthic ''ġli'' or ''lhi'' [ʎi]; | |||
* ⟨ġn⟩ or ⟨nh⟩ for /ɲ/: Standard Luthic ''siġnore'' [siɲˈɲo.ɾe], Upper Luthic ''siġnor'' or ''sinhor'' [si.ɲoɾ]; | |||
* ⟨eu⟩, ⟨y⟩ or ⟨ü⟩ for /y/: Standard Luthic ''niu'' [nju], Upper Luthic ''neu'', ''ny'' or ''nü'' [ny]; | |||
* Disagreement on voiceless terminal consonant spelling: Standard Luthic ''ac'' [ɐx], Upper Luthic ''ac'' or ''ag'' [ɐk]; Standard Luthic ''garda'' [ˈɡaɾ.dɐ], Upper Luthic ''gart'' or ''gard'' [ɡɐɾt]. | |||
Another problem with Upper Luthic lacking a regulatory body is the lack of official statistics: | |||
* Unknown amount of native speakers; | |||
* Unknown status as an endangered language; | |||
* Lack of resources. | |||
