User:Nicolasstraccia/Minhastid: Difference between revisions

The Crane Speaker Dialect is traditionally considered, due to its historical split from the mainland dialects, a part of the Upper Minhast group, but modern study of the differences which characterize the CSD seem to indicate that the linguistic split might have happened a longer time before the speakers left Minhay (around 1900), in a way which would place CSD in a more basal level within the Minhast tree. One of such possible classifications would situate the CSD as follows:

0.Minhastid Languages

0.2.1.Modern Standard Minhast [variant of Upper Minhast; government, commerce, and media]

0.2.2.Modern Colloquial Minhast ("City Speaker Dialect") [admixture of several subdialects from both Upper and Lower Minhast]
