Phonological history of Carnian: Difference between revisions

Line 373:

The approximant ''v'' was lost in certain clusters when following a coronal consonant, especially a fricative (''suent'' > ''[[Contionary:sent#Carnian|sent]]''). After a stop, ''v'' is usually preserved (as in ''dua'' 'two'), although is lost in some cases (''tuoi'' > ''toi'' on analogy with ''suoi'' > ''soi'').

=== Nasal â ===

By the late 20th century, a marginal nasal vowel phoneme ''â'' emerged in standard Carnian. It developed from the older emphatic interjection ''ha'', characteristic of the Trestine dialect. The interjection underwent [[w:Rhinoglottophilia|rhinoglottophilia]] and subsequent loss of /h/ as it spread across the [[Carnian dialects#Gorso-Tresten|Gorso-Tresten dialect]] area. During this process, its function shifted from a postpositional interjection to a suffix, accompanying its diffusion to other urban centres through 19th-century working-class migration.

By the early 20th century, the feature had become widespread in [[Carnian dialects#Fyn|Fyn]]. Several lexical items containing the suffix ''-â'' entered the standard language through mass media and popular culture, with the process accelerating in the early 21st century alongside the expansion of Internet communication. The phoneme remains distributionally restricted and is primarily associated with expressive morphology.
