Alpine-Nomadic Languages

Copyright © 2004-2021 C.E. by D. Jon Scott

Introduction

The Alpine-Nomadic languages are those derived from closed-syllable (and hybrid-syllable) dialects of Proto-Paleoboreanic, or those branches of the Palaeoboreanic language family, which underwent voicing of consonants adjascent to back-vowels (Terran languages) and glottal deconsonantalization (Alpine-Agrarian languages




Further Lenition: Codal Voicing in Closed Dialects
+ Glottal Deconsonantalization

In closed dialects, the codas of syllables with back vowels were voiced.
