Phonology

Phonological differences from RL!Chechen

Vowels

  • /ə/ (an allophone of /ɑ/ in Chechen) becomes an independent phoneme in Aranese, typically found word-finally.
  • Open /e/ and /o/ in Chechen is split into /ɛ/ and /ɔ/ in Aranese.
  • /ɥø/ and /yø/ in Chechen are collapsed into /œ/ and /œː/ in Aranese
  • Nasalization, while present in Chechen (particularly for the genitive, infinitive, and for some speakers, the nominative case of adjectives) is even more pronounced as a result of influence from Arpitan and French, with vowels now nasalized word-finally and before <n> and another consonant.

Consonants

  • /ɲ/ and /ʎ/ were gradually introduced (generally from /n/ and /l/ before /i/ or /j/) due to the influence of neighboring languages (ie Romansh, Occitan)
  • /r/ is /ʁ/ due to influence from French (see guttural r)
