How can Slavic have words like *kve:tu *kvaasu *gveezhdaa if PIE labiovelars were lost in Slavic? I must have missed something major! -- /BP 8^)> -- Benct...
I have been dabbling in Slavic historical linguistics recently, and as a matter of course I've been trying to write those languages with Tolkien's Tengwar. I...
... major! Consonantic clusters _kv_, _cv_, _sv_ and _gv_ are comming from connection of _k_, _k'_ or _gh_ with bilabial glide _w_, so they are direct...
... It is from plain velar (depalatalised palatovelar or develarized labiovelar) + w. PSl. kvasU < PIE. kweH2-so- (PSl. kyse^lU "sour" < kuH2-s-) PSl. kve^tU...
... I thought only *k^v could appear in this way. Not so obviously! Which probably means that the PIE labiovelars were *real* labiovelars [kp gb] etc.! :-)...
Hi, the new web-pages are on-line; they contain contemporary Nassian. The diachronic overview will follow after summer. http://ark.wz.cz/conlangs/nasesk.html ...
Here Hungarian is Uralic, Romanian is Romance, and Bulgarian is Slavic. In FIU, Hungarian is replaced by Dacian (Romance, with qualifications). In order to...
... Well, it definitely wasn't Uralic! I've always been under the assumption that the ancestors of the Bulgarians (the Bulgars, or Bolgars) were a Turkic...
... Bulgaria can be Slavic speaking. I have discovered the Szekely, a group closely related to the Magyars. They settled primarily in Translyvania (which isn't...
This is for the same world as Cunwy (Greek Brithenig), except it provides the base for the equivalent of Western Romance languages (Spanish, Catalan,...
Slvanjek has undergone a substantial change in its GMP and is now version 3.8. The name of the lang has also changed in consequence. It is now as people...
... I myself just came up with a thought. What if the singular of "who" was _ke_ and only the plural _ky_? A bit of a cheat since both singular and plural...
Hi! ... How does 'ja' derive in _kvja_? I checked the website, but the Grand Master Plan is not online yet. Since I'm currently busy with Proto-Norse, as you...
