Wangkangurru or Wangganguru / ˈ w ʌ ŋ ɡ ə ŋ ˈ ʊər uː / is an extinct Australian Aboriginal language of the Pama–Nyungan family . It was a dialect of Arabana spoken by the Wangkangurru people .
10-427: Wangganguru had the full range of consonants of the prototypical Australian language. Several of the nasals and laterals were allophonically prestopped . This Australian Aboriginal languages -related article is a stub . You can help Misplaced Pages by expanding it . Prestopped consonant In linguistics , pre-stopping , also known as pre-occlusion or pre-plosion , is a phonological process involving
20-548: A group of Aslian languages spoken by about 5,000 people in inland areas of Peninsular Malaysia , with a few pockets in southern Thailand . The most distinctive language in the group is the outlier Cheq Wong , which is spoken south of the Central Aslian language Semai . The other languages apart from Ten'edn can be split into two divisions: (unclassified) Ten'edn (Mos, Maniq) The name Maniq (Məniʔ, Maniʔ) can refer to either Kensiu or Tonga, both of which also go by
30-1178: A superscripted letter in Manx and in Cornish. Examples in Manx include: In Cornish, pre-occlusion mostly affects the reflexes of older geminate/fortis /m/ , intrinsically geminated in Old Cornish, and /nn/ (or /N/ depending on preferred notation). It also arises in a few cases where the combination /n+j/ was apparently re-interpreted as /nnʲ/ . Examples in Cornish : In Faroese , pre-occlusion also occurs, as in kallar [ˈkatlaɹ] 'you call, he calls', seinna [ˈsaiːtna] 'latter'. A similar feature occurs in Icelandic , as in galli [ˈkatlɪ] ('error'); sæll [ˈsaitl̥] , seinna [ˈseitna] ; Spánn [ˈspautn̥] . Pre-stopped nasals and laterals are found in some Australian Aboriginal languages , such as Kuyani (Adnyamathanha), Arabana , Wangkangurru , Diyari , Aranda (nasals only), and Martuthunira (laterals only). Adnyamathanha, for example, has
40-480: Is prestopped/prestopping . In descriptions of the languages of Southeast Asia, Australia, and the Pacific, preploded/preplosion is common, though prestopped is also used. In accounts of Celtic languages, preoccluded/preocclusion is used almost exclusively. Technically, nasals are already occlusives, and are often considered stops; however, some prefer to restrict the term 'stop' for consonants in which there
50-524: Is complete cessation of airflow, so 'prenasalized stop' and 'prestopped nasal' are not necessarily tautologies. In Manx , pre-occlusion occurs in stressed monosyllabic words (i.e. words one syllable long), and is also found in Cornish on certain stressed syllables. The inserted stop is homorganic with the sonorant, which means it has the same place of articulation . Long vowels are often shortened before pre-occluded sounds. In transcription, pre-occluding consonants in final position are typically written with
60-501: Is the only Austronesian language that has been reported to have a pre-stopped velar lateral approximant /ɡʟ/ . Its phonological behavior clearly defines it as a prestopped lateral , rather than as a laterally released stop . Nemi of New Caledonia has consonants that have been described as postnasalized stops, but could possibly be described as prestopped nasals. North Aslian languages The Jahaic or Northern Aslian languages (also called Jehaic or Semang ) are
70-481: The historical or allophonic insertion of a very short stop consonant before a sonorant , such as a short [d] before a nasal [n] or a lateral [l] , or a short [p] before a nasal [m] . The resulting sounds ( [ᵈn, ᵈl, ᵖm] ) are called pre-stopped consonants , or sometimes pre-ploded or (in Celtic linguistics) pre-occluded consonants, although technically [n] may be considered an occlusive/stop without
80-495: The name of Mos. Some Aslian languages are already extinct, such as Wila' (also called Bila' or Lowland Semang), a language or various languages recorded having been spoken on the Province Wellesley coast opposite Penang in the early 19th century. Another extinct language is Ple-Temer, which was previously spoken near Gerik in northern Perak (Benjamin 2011). This Austroasiatic language -related article
90-406: The pre-occlusion. A pre-stopped consonant behaves phonologically as a single consonant. That is, like affricates and trilled affricates , the reasons for considering these sequences to be single consonants lies primarily in their behavior. Phonetically they are similar or equivalent to stops with a nasal or lateral release. There are three terms for this phenomenon. The most common by far
100-526: The pre-stopped nasals [ᵇm, ɲ, n̪, ᵈn, ɳ] and the pre-stopped laterals [ ʎ, l̪, ᵈl, ɭ] , though these are all in allophonic variation with the simple nasals and laterals [m, ɲ, n̪, n, ɳ, ʎ, l̪, l, ɭ] . Pre-stopped nasals are also found in several branches of Austroasiatic , especially in the North Aslian languages and Shompen , where historical word-final nasals, *m *n *ŋ, have become pre-stopped, or even full voiced stops [b d ɡ] .
