	Isogloss - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An isogloss is the geographical boundary of a certain linguistic feature, e.g.
		Dialects are typically demarcated by whole bundles of isoglosses, e.g.
		The name is inspired by contour lines such as isobar, etc.; however the isogloss separates, rather than connecting points of equal language (perhaps one can say it connects points of indefinite language).

	Abstract
		A later isogloss is said to be the dual reflexes of the vocalized jers (a/schwa in the SW and e in the NE), which runs perpendicular (NW-SE) to the previously mentioned isogloss, effectively quartering the Slovene (Sn) speech territory.
		Isoglosses 1-3 date to the pre-migration period and thus belong to the oldest layer of dialect differences in the Sn-Kaj territory.
		Isoglosses 4-5 are dialect archaisms that date to a period when Ssl still carried through common innovations and thus belong to a layer of innovations older than the internal differentiation of Sn-Kaj.

		In addition, isoglosses 2-b1, s-b2, and 2-b3 are included to show areas in which there are exceptions to the area's general pattern; it should be noted that 2-b2 and 2-b3 encircle places in which there is variation between the informants who were very close together.
		Isogloss 5-a splits the borrowed forms, showing the limit between where one hears the form farther from the English (weschbailer) exclusively from where one hears both it and the form closer to the English (weschboiler).
		This map simply shows all of the isoglosses from Maps 1-5 along with their identifying numbers; it is worth noting that isoglosses 2-b1, 2-b2, 2-b3, and 3-c are different sorts of isoglosses than the rest, as they mark points where there are exceptions to the patterns the other isoglosses on their maps delimit.

	Centum-Satem isogloss - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Centum-Satem division is an isogloss of the Indo-European language family, discussing different treatments of the three dorsal consonant rows reconstructed for Proto-Indo-European, *k
		The velar rows remain separate in Luwian, while Hittite may secondarily have undergone a Centum change, but the exact phonology is unclear.
		In the 19th century, it was sometimes assumed that the centum-satem isogloss was the original dialect division of the Indo-European languages.

		In German linguistics, the Benrath line (German: Benrather Linie), jokingly also called the WeiÃŸwurstÃ¤quator, is an isogloss, or bundle of isoglosses, marking the border between the Northern Low German dialects and the High and Central German dialects in the south.
		In the linguistics of the Romance languages, the La Spezia-Rimini Line is a line that refers to a number of important isoglosses that distinguish the eastern Romance languages from the western Romance languages.
		The Romance languages, also called Romanic languages, are a subfamily of the Italic languages, specifically the descendants of the Vulgar Latin dialects spoken by the common people evolving in different areas after the break-up of the Roman Empire.

		This model is constructed on a postulate of the reverse-proportional dependence between quantity of common words in pairs of related languages and that distance on which areas of formation this languages from common ancestor language were found in that previous time.
		It is important to take into consideration that not all isoglosses have a corresponding match in all languages.
		If all the languages have the appropriate words for the same isogloss (all square are full), then this isogloss belongs to a common lexical stock of the language family.

		Charles Joret in 1883 identified an area of Normandy where the local language preserved the use of numerous lexical items which were Scandinavian in origin.
		He was able to determine an isogloss which demarcated the territory where Old Norse had been influential in the development of a particular nonstandard speech variety which emerged.
		This isogloss is known as the ligne Joret.

		These two groups are defined by specific isoglosses and dialectal phenomena as well as extralinguistic and sociolinguistic elements distinguishing one group from the other.
		The main isogloss between the Western and Eastern groups is defined by the placement of the stress.
		While in Lemko dialects the stress is constant, fixed on the penultimate syllable of the word, as in Polish or eastern Slovak, the stress in the Eastern group is free and movable, as in Ukrainian.

	The Indo-European Homeland (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		A linguistic isogloss is a linguistic feature which is found in some of the branches of the family, and is not found in the others.
		However, it is more logical to treat this isogloss as an innovation developed in common by a few branches after their departure from the homeland, than to postulate that all the other, otherwise disparate, branches eliminated an original “use of ‘r’ to indicate the passive forms of verbs”.
		The evidence of the isoglosses suggests that the Indic, Iranian, Armenian and Greek branches, as well as the Albanian branch, were the last to remain behind in the original homeland after the departure of the other branches.

		An isogloss runs across the Midlands from the Wash to the Welsh border, passing to the south of the cities of Birmingham and Leicester.
		North of the isogloss, the vowel in most of the affected words is usually the same short [a] as in cat; south of the isogloss, the vowel in the affected words is generally long.
		There is some variation close to the isogloss; for example in Brummie most of the affected words have a short [a], but aunt usually has a long vowel.

		Further north, at the border between the fylke of Møre og Romsdal, Oppland and Sør-Trøndelag, Skjåk from Opplandet groups with NV, while Lesja from Opplandet and Rauma and Nesset from Møre og Romsdal group with Tr.
		The final adjustment to be made to the established dialect boundaries to create the isogloss for the distribution of LDR is at the boundary between Tr and NN.
		Instead of more or less following the fylke border between Nord-Trøndelag and Nordland, the divide is north of Helgeland, following the northern border of Hemnes, Leirfjord, Nesna, Lurøy and Træna kommunar.

		However there's also a very strong isogloss bundle between them, while there's none between the southern and more northern Brabantic dialects.
		So artificial dialects are created in the system to form a buffer, like the non-existent Zuid-Gelders (no isogloss bundle exists) and the barely discernable Utrechts (very weak isogloss bundle).
		The same trick is used to keep the Flemish away by talking about Zeeuws which in fact is northern West Flemish.

		For many years I have had in my files a map of part of the isogloss boundary separating north German _us_ `us' from south German _uns_ in the vicinity of the Rhine.
		The map shows a long finger of _uns_ territory extending northward along the Rhine deep into _us_ territory, as far as Koblenz, and it illustrates the possible effect of a river upon an isogloss boundary.
		I'd like to use this map in a forthcoming book, but unfortunately I no longer have a record of where I found it, and I can't locate it now in any obvious source.

		It is based on a dialect survey of the 68 Central Yup’ik-speaking villages that J. undertook over a decade ago, using as his primary tool a questionnaire of 200 lexical and grammatical items.
		This is followed by three Composite Isogloss Maps—one for phonological and morphological features, one for traditional lexicon, and one for modern lexicon—compiled by overlaying approximately 150 of the isoglosses revealed by the individual Isogloss Maps.
		These clearly show the division of Yup’ik into six main dialect areas, four distinctly marked-off areas and a more complex core with two distinguishable subdivisions.

		Just as an isobar on a weather map describes a region of equal air pressure, an isogloss describes a region where most people follow a particular usage or pronunciation.
		Similarly, isoglosses separate British "lorry" and North American "truck," and Californian "fender bender" and Tennessee "car smash" (a usage that scared me when I had to drive on the icy streets of Memphis long ago, and the papers warned of smashes galore).

		Not only is the Atlas fascinating browsing, for the nuances of speech patterns which it reveals, it is also the vehicle by which splits and dividing lines in societies come into recognition, along with the isogloss lines which have been traced across every continent from the beginning of time.
		Research continues with the definition and elaboration of knowledge about localisms and dialect differentiation, since the Atlas tapped only the top of the mine.
