Sähsch uses stress to identify words rather than pitch or tone, which are instead used suprasegmentally in intonation (although stress can also be used for intonation too at the sentence level). | |||
====Stress==== | ====Stress==== | ||
Stress is almost always on the first syllable of a root. Prefixes are generally unstressed except for emphasis. The main exception to this rule is where long vowels are involved, as they are almost always stressed (primary, secondary, tertiary etc). This resulted from unstressed long vowels first being eliminated, and then being repropagated throughout the language again with compounding and loanwords. | |||
Romance and Latinate loanwords are renown for having final or penultimate stress in the language. | |||
