==Seargais== | |||
==Primitive Seargais== | |||
<poem> | |||
long vowels: | |||
a: e: i: o: u: æ: ø: y: from | |||
broad á aí/ai/oi oí/uí/ui ó/ao ú/ua/ui ái ói/aío/aoi úi/oío/uío/uai | |||
slender eá ei/éi/éa í/ia/iai eo iú/io/iu ea/éa/eai/eái eoi iúi/ío | |||
éa becomes æ: before broad d, n, l and r, and e: elsewhere | |||
ui becomes u: before broad d, n, l and r, and i: elsewhere | |||
short vowels: | |||
a e i o u -> a ʲa ʲɨ a ɨ | |||
changes from proto seargais to seargais | |||
high vowels move one POA | |||
(u -> ü, ü -> i but aü stays put) | |||
there's the merger | |||
now o becomes u to fill in the gap, a becomes o and æ becomes a | |||
a e i o u æ ø y -> | |||
o e i u y a ø i | |||
e -> ə | |||
which triggers i -> ia, ia -> e, y -> i, u -> ɨ, o -> u, a -> ua, ua -> o | |||
so i get | |||
a e i o u æ ø y ia ua ai au ay -> | |||
o e i u y a ø i ia ua ai au ay -> | |||
u ə ia ɨ i ua _ ia e o ai au _ | |||
ø -> ɛ -> a while ay -> aɨ | |||
u ə ia ɨ i ua a ia e o ai au aɨ (i now have all the vowels!) | |||
breathy voice ablaut patterns: | |||
e/i/ai -> ə/ia/ai | |||
o/u/au -> ɨ/i/au | |||
ö/ü/aü -> a/ia/aɨ | |||
chaotic! | |||
a/ua -> u/o | |||
ä/ia -> ua/e | |||
spelling: a e i o u y w = /a e i o u ə ɨ/ | |||
short a -> y | |||
short ɨ -> w (very few modern Seargais speakers make the distinction between the short vowels using y for both) | |||
</poem> | |||
===Seargais superstrate=== | |||
<poem> | |||
same breathy voice pattern except there's a GVS | |||
a e i o u ä ö ü ua ia ai au aü -> | |||
o i ai u au e ü aü uo ie ä a a | |||
compare | |||
u ə ia ɨ i ua a ia e o ai au aɨ | |||
these are heard by seargais speakers as | |||
o i ai u au ə ɨ aɨ e o e a a | |||
</poem> | |||
===Seargais consonants=== | |||
<poem> | |||
p t q pʰ tʰ χ m n w θ ʟ r tɬ ɬ (broad) | |||
f ts k f ts kʰ m n j s ɬ r tʃ ʃ (slender) | |||
Urú'ed: | |||
m n ʟ mʰ nʰ χ m n pf θ ʟ r nl tɬ (broad) | |||
m n ŋ mʰ nʰ ŋʰ m n f ts ɬ r n tʃ (slender) | |||
the combined set of phonemes: | |||
p pʰ t tʰ k kʰ q | |||
f θ s ɬ ʃ χ | |||
pf ts tɬ tʃ | |||
m mʰ n nʰ ŋ ŋʰ nl | |||
j w ʟ r | |||
h is missing | |||
broad sm and sn can become h | |||
urúing to tʰ | |||
actually it should stay as θm and θn | |||
θm -> voiceless m -> h also works | |||
it doesn't impact the morphology | |||
