Interestingly, I seem to accidentally have made retroflex harmony in one of my conlangs. Coda /l/ was retroflex, and as I spoke the words, I found it difficult to rapidly switch back to plain consonants. Eventually I just made it a rule that dental and alveolar consonants become retroflex following this retroflex /l/, and now I know this has already been done in natlangs! (btw that coda /l/ later became a /j/-like sound, which did some other things, so now some suffixes become retroflex for seemingly no reason, which I think is pretty cool)

to be honest, of all the consonant places of articulation retroflex ones are the weirdes. While for all the other just basiccally move the tongue further back or forth (or use your lips) retroflex requiers you to curl your tongue backwards (which is pretty weird in my opinion) and hard to do if you are not used to it. Thus I do believe it is the most likely and reasonable of the ones shown because (as you said yourself) it is difficult to switch back and forth betwen plain and retroflex consonants.

For a while I've been planning to do a thing with /l/ going to /ɹ/ and then later /ɻ/ in one branch of my language family tree, having that /ɻ/ merge with adjacent coronals into retroflex consonants, and then having retroflex vs (palato-)alveolar harmony, which interacts a bunch with the previously established tongue-root and backness harmony (palato-alveolar consonants like to be with +ATR & front vowels, retroflex consonants with -ATR & back vowels) It's not _technically_ vowel-consonant harmony, but instead two semi-separate systems of consonant harmony and vowel harmony which like to align with each other whenever they come into contact. I haven't yet decided in what direction it spreads, whether from vowels to consonants, from consonants to vowels, or just in a set direction (progressively or regressively). I'm glad to know what real vowel-consonant harmony systems look like, and honestly I might not be too far off from regular retroflex harmony with what I'm probably gonna do. Nothing's technically stopping me from fully merging the two harmonies into a proper vowel-consonant harmony...

is there a name for the thing Irish and Turkish (for example) do where consonants are influenced by adjacent vowel frontness? so Irish represents /k/ around back vowels and /c/ around front vowels. I really like this idea and would like to know if there's a name for it
@sulien6835
@sulien6835 2 жыл бұрын
In Irish at least that's called a broad/slender distinction, which just means most consonants are either velarized or palatalized. Other languages like Russian and Mongolian just have a palatalized form against a non-palatalized (not necessarily velarized) form. IIRC in Irish the written front and back vowels are purely orthographic, serving to identify the consonant as palatalized or velarized but not actually causing the palatalization or velarization.

Is the effect of vowel harmony on the allophones of a consonant a kind of consonant-vowel harmony? For example, in Mongolian, the phoneme /k/ (transcribed as since the language lacks /kʰ/, despite having an aspirated vs. non-aspirated distinction on most stops) is [q] in back vowel words, and [k] in "front" vowel words, (the rounded front vowels have shifted to back lax), thus the near-minimal pair /monkoɬ/ [moɴqoɬ] "Mongol; Mongolian" vs. /mɔnkɔ/ [mɔŋkɔ] "silver". It almost looks like the VH is triggering Dorsal Harmony.

I don't think so, the slender consonants came about because of palatalisation cause by adjacent (following?) front vowels. It also doesn't spread throughout a word, except when two consonants are adjacent, where they tend to be either both broad or both slender (but not always, 'r' for instance is broad in words like *ceird* "craft", while the 'd' is slender). But this would be regular assimilation, not systematic harmony.

Maybe you can make a game for kids to learn Oa and It is inspired by endless alphabet. Also I made a conlang called cwnsynynt ‘lf’byt (Consonant Alphabet) the letters are: b c d f g h j k l m n p q r s t v x z ‘ - w & y. ‘, -, w and y are vowels though they are consonants.

4:24 - talking about "left to right" and "right to left" directions in the context of a Latin-based (left-to-right) transcript of a normally right-to-left language is a bit confusing, I think something like "start to end" and "end to start" would've made more sense 😅

When talking about Arabic, you say progressive spreading is from left to right. Given how Arabic is written from right to left, does that mean that progressive spreading is where it spreads backwards through the word?

Forget about þe writing system when he says “progressive” or “regressive.” Progressive just means any phoneme þat is pronounced after þe trigger. Regressive means any phoneme pronounced before þe trigger. Writing has noþing to do wiþ order þe sounds come in.

"Progressive" here means "earlier in the phrase to later", and "regressive" means "later to earlier". It has little to do with the writing direction.

Your description of progressive harmony as left to right kinda breaks down with Arabic, which is written in the opposite direction from a phonetic transcription. Maybe call it beginning to end harmony?

@liammurray2318 2 жыл бұрын
Progressive and regressive harmony have little to do with the writing system. They're more concerned with whether the harming affects phones that come earlier in the phrase or later, chronologically.

I had an idea simular to retroflex harmony. It basicaly works like this; Talan > [talan] ʈalan > [ʈaɭaɳ] Calan > [caʎaɲ] Not sure if this is naturalistic at all. It can probably evolve somehow. For example Turkish and Azerbadjani has two types of vowel harmony at the same time.

So 'calan' is like palatalisation harmony? Not sure if that exists, but I wouldn't be surprised if it did, as it would essentially be the same as retroflex harmony but instead of curled back the tongue is raised
@Theo-oh3jk
@Theo-oh3jk 2 жыл бұрын
This is odd. Retroflex consonants typically resist palatalization. There seems to be no reason for the change.
