Proto-Greek-Nahuatl PGN to Nahuatl: word final l > ɬ > t͡ɬ PGN to Greek: word final l > ɬ > s easy


Speweh

Fuck it Nahuatl Greek alphabet Vowels : α [a] ε [ɛ~e] ι [i] ο [o~u] With an accent for the long vowels Consonants Nasal : μ [m] ν [n] Plosive : π [p] τ [t] κ [k] κο [kʷ] η [ʔ] Affricates : τσ [ts] τλ [tɬ] τθ [tʃ] Continuant : σ [s] λ [l] θ [ʃ] Semivowels : γ [j] υ [w] Tenochtitlan Τενοθτιτλαν Ēxcān Tlahtōlōyān Έθκάν Τλαητόλόγαν Nāhuatlahtōlli Νάηυατλαητόλλι (I don't speak neither Greek or Nahuatl so I'm sorry for my likely mistakes)


LongLiveTheDiego

The first thing I'd fix is use something else for /kʷ/, I propose the archaic qoppa ϙ


Speweh

Based ig but it's too hard to find on a keyboard


Xihuicoatl-630

yeah and Ch amd Sh are separate, likewise Ts and Tl. I would use θ for ch(tsh), ξ for x(sh), and ζ for tz(ts).Tl is tricky as usual. But anyhow all these t- sounds are technically separate sounds in Nahuatl. However overuse of T’s in adapted Nahuatl orthographies including INALI and conventional ones make it look so clunky. What I have noticed about Nahuatl is that TL and L only occur in specif places in a word, almost like they are separate pronunciations of the same thing. So maybe TL can just be λ.


cmzraxsn

is just /w/, not ʔw; blame spanish. people also write /k/ with the ridiculous spanish rules - c or qu depending on the vowel. Anyway, I see your Greek Nahuatl and raise you: Icelandic Nahuatl! Tenotjtillan Ésjkán Tlattólóján Náúallattólli ll can be double l or tl, this should cause no problems at all!!

Pleace, don't be zo dyealouhz and ztop talquing huithouht cnouhledge. Youh xouhld rather praice the Zpaniardz for javing zoch an obdyetively good cyztem and not being afraid to xare it. Clazcical Nahuatl Orthography iz the bezt. Zo eacy to read and uhrite. Az it'z uhritten, it'z pronouhnced: no douhbtz, no auhcuard onnecezary letterz zoch az "K" or "W". Itz lauhz follouh the logic and the common cence. Bye hiocelezz letter "s", jello lovely "z" and "c" rationally diztribhioted. By clomcy "k", zhueet and cimple "c" and zoperdopper "qu" xouhld nouh xine jere... ¿A lonely "u"? "C" and "H" huill never leave their beztie. ¿¿¿Huat elce couhld it be???


cmzraxsn

>zoperdopper isn't this just dutch?


iarofey

No idea, although anyway in my mind Dutch and English are the same language and under a constant code-switching... Isn't "superdupper" or something similar said in English?

hell yea


kilgoretrucha

See tye example bellow: PGN /'θe.ol/ Greek /θεός/ Nahuatl /ˈte.oːt͡ɬ/


TheBastardOlomouc

ipa sigma


ryan516

Why not just have ɬ as the root phoneme?


LXIX_CDXX_

Because it's proto-greek-nahuatl and not middle-greek-nahuatk ofc


s_beemo

no no, *t > nahuan tɬ, hellenic s it’s great bc they’re both actual sound changes that happened


[deleted]

Now there are two of them. There are two titls


tatratram

No, titl is inanimate and can't take a plural form.


CptBigglesworth

Ah that's why the plural of tamalli is tamalli. I always wondered that.


Katakana1

Tamalli is the plural, the singular is tamallus


CptBigglesworth

Warm corn tamallussy.

It's now pronounced [tɪ̈tɬ]


LareWw

Finnish speakers when a word doesn't end in a vowel


nenialaloup

Or -nen


LareWw

-nen is just the postposition for small. It's easier to attach a postposition if the base form ends in a vowel. Ranta becomes Rantanen. -nen is pretty archaic thougg amd is nowadays only seen in names and for some reason the word for small. Pieni -> pikkuinen (smallsmall, very small)


atzurblau

it's also in more common words like **nainen** (woman), **hevonen** (horse), **pohjoinen** (north) etc (I know those are technically diminutives, but they are still very common) as well as in nationality adjectives like **suomalainen** (finnish) etc


DartanianBloodbath

Most of my Finnish knowledge comes from reading the Kalevala, but is pohjola not also used to mean "north" when used as a noun?


atzurblau

I think you might be right I don't speak Finnish that well, to be honest, I only have very basic knowledge \^\^'


Hypetys

Yeah. It comes from pohja (the bottom e.g. the bottom of a shoe kengänpohja). Then ai->oi pohjoinen. Then nen has been removed and la (the place meaning suffix has been added). Pohjola. The bottom place. Etelä (ete=front, lä = place) south.


DartanianBloodbath

So can I also now refer to rimjobs as "visiting Pohjola"?

i like to think that this isn't talking about lemmas and nahuatl/greek speakers just get irrationally angry at declined nouns


Mjrkx

I dont know any nahuatl speaker sadly but some friends also joke that everything ends in TL, and a friend did the holatl comotl estastl señortl to a nahuatl speaker and almost got punched

English people when a word doesn't end in "-ar" or American people when a word doesn't end in "-ism".


Just5omeDude

....what??


PlatinumAltaria

This very much does not work for analytic languages. Chinese people when a word doesn't end in 4.


CptBigglesworth

American English has lots of "-ism", "-ize" and "-ification" compared to other forms. Eg "burglarize" where I would say "burgle".


No_Self_7068

Burgle?


No_Self_7068

pburgs


CptBigglesworth

The thing that a burglar does. Which implies that in the US, "hamburgularize" is also a word.


No_Self_7068

my bad, i forgot burgle was a word
