Tone (linguistics) - Unipedia In many languages, phonation distinctions of initial consonants are lost, with vowels after voiced consonants acquiring a low tone, and vowels after aspirated consonants acquiring a high tone. Register systems are found in Bantu languages, which more typically seem to have 2 or 3 tones with specific relative pitches assigned to them, with a high tone and a low tone being the most common (plus a middle tone for languages that have a third pitch). The majority of the languages in the world are tonal. www.unipedia.info /Toneme.html   (1869 words)

Prehistoric Texas Tanoan languages are those that were spoken in the Jemez, Piro, Tiwa, and Tewa pueblos of New Mexico. Kiowa presence in the Plateaus and Canyonlands waned in the succeeding decades. The Kiowas, many years since, lived far to the north where it was very cold most of the year—far beyond the country of the Crows and the Sioux….They lived there, knowing nothing of ponies, but used dogs to carry their burdens, to draw their lodge poles, and remove all their fixtures from place to place. www.texasbeyondhistory.net /plateaus/peoples/kiowa.html   (3548 words)

Encyclopedia of North American Indians - - Pueblo Languages The Kiowa-Tanoan family of languages is distantly related to the Uto-Aztecan family, from which Hopi comes. Indigenous purism—keeping the native language free from admixture with other languages—is exemplified in the proscription of nonnative languages in the kiva during ceremonial performances. The use of foreign languages in such settings is clearly outlawed, and violators are punished. college.hmco.com /history/readerscomp/naind/html/na_031600_pueblolangua.htm   (1256 words)

Jerry Stokes Linguistics and the Book of Mormon A proto-language is a hypothesized parent language from which a group of related languages descended; an asterisk (*) before a form or word signifies that it has been reconstructed by linguists as an unattested ancient or intermediate form in the parent language on the basis of comparisons of related words (cognates) in the descendant languages. The term for grinding stone (89) is found throughout UA languages; in fact, the Aztec word me+a-+ is the source for metate, [p.28] borrowed into Spanish and English. As modern languages have been analyzed, comparisons made, and histories reconstructed, it has become clear that the ancient linguistic scene was also complex. churches.net /churches/utmiss/Bookofmormon/Linguistics.html   (17456 words)

Indian History and Culture The settled Pueblo farmers of the Southwest, remnants of the great traditions of the region that flourished during the pre-Columbian era, comprised four language families: Uto-Aztecan, Hokan, Keresan, and Kiowa-Tanoan. Because unwritten languages preserve clues to their links with related languages for at most a few thousand years, it may never be possible to trace the ancient connections between even well-known languages and language families. Muskogean and Caddoan were the major language families of the region, although there were also representatives of the Siouan and Iroquoian families. www.anb.org /main-indian.html   (10483 words)

LINGUIST List 8.309: Morphology/Phonology, Semantics The filter theory of Impoverishment is exemplified with a thorough cross-linguistic study of person and number, including a comparative study of the inherent number systems of the Kiowa-Tanoan languages. Languages with rich inflection provide positive evidence to the learner to unlearn certain filters; otherwise, filters automatically Impoverish morphosyntactic representations, explaining the systematic absence of forms which might otherwise be constructed by freely operating word-formation rules. A set of feature co-occurrence restrictions or filters is provided which determines the alphabet of inflectional categories. www.ling.ed.ac.uk /linguist/issues/8/8-309.html   (449 words)
