===Deconsonantification=== | |||
In many PY-derivative languages, many palatalised consonants, like *ś and *ź, were "deconsonantified", leaving only a voiced palatal approximant, *j. Thus, where there were (probably) palatalised consonants in PY, they were lost in descendant languages. | |||
However, there is still some evidence for the existence of the palatalised consonants. For example: | |||
* In Vulgar [[Maranz]], where there were often *ś or *ź in PY, they were replaced with a voiceless palatal approximant, *j̥ and its voiced counterpart, *j. For example, PY ''*wiśen'' became Proto-Ilda-Maranösic ''*wiçen'' and Proto-Maranösic ''*ihien'' and then finally into Vulgar Maranz ''*ij̥in''. The word was not carried over into modern Maranz. | |||
