Added decent categories so I know where this language is in the future.

			=== Vowel Mutations ===
			Sähsch has historically undergone a large series of vowel mutations, called the i-, u-, and a-mutations or umlauts. Respectively they are characterised by the following effects they have on preceding vowels:
			* i-umlaut: +front, -round, -open
			* u-umlaut: -front, +round, -open
			* a-umlaut: +open, +back (albeit subtle)

			{{col-begin}}
			{{col-break}}
			'''I-Umlaut'''
			* a+i → ä in Älbe < albī ''river''
			* ā+i → äh in Käse < kāsijaz ''cheese''
			* ē+i → äh in Bräde < brēþiz ''vapour, breath''
			* ''also in'' Quäne < kwēniz ''lady''
			<!--* o+i → ö-->
			* ō+i → öh in Glöde < glōdiz ''glow''
			* u+i → ü in Bühte/Bühte < buhtiz ''bight, bay, cove''
			* ū+i → üh in Brüde < brūdiz ''bride''

			'''U-Umlaut'''
			* a+u → å in Ånd < anudz ''duck''
			* ''also in'' Åss < ansuz ''áss as in æsir''
			* ''also in'' Dråhte/Dråchte ''vestments or burden''
			* ''also in'' Hånd < handuz
			* e+u → ö in Quöde < kweþuz ''belly''
			* i+u → ü in Lüde < liþuz ''member''

Prosody: Added details on Prosody and Stress but none under Intonation

← Older revision		Revision as of 06:46, 26 July 2015
Line 219:		Line 219:

	===Prosody===		===Prosody===
			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.

Phonetic Realisations: Finished vowel realisations and added two columns for realisations

@@ Line 123: / Line 123: @@
 The underlying phonemic symmetry is often broken by the dialects of the language, including the standard language. Several popular processes underway which cause this include:
 * "Vowel Breaking" (diphthongisation)
-* U-Fronting (/u:/ and new diphthongs containing /u/ have this element centralised to /ü/)
+* U-Fronting / U-Ü Merger (/u:/ and new diphthongs containing /u/ have this element centralised to /ü/)
 * L-Vocalisation (sequences of a vowel followed by L result in a velarisation of the vowel)
-In the standard dialect, the following broadly described phones are generally produced by the above-described underlying phonology:
+In the Lowlands dialect<!--Previously the Modern Standard-->, the following broadly described phones in the table below are generally produced by the underlying phonology of the language. The split between realisations reveals the presence of sub-dialects within the Lowlands dialect. <!--I also think that below this I could have another cleaner set of realisations-->
