Topic: Satem


  
  Centum-Satem isogloss - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The supposed area of origin of Satemization is shown in darker red (Sintashta/Abashevo/Srubna cultures).
The Satem languages show the characteristic change of the so-called Proto-Indo-European palato-velars (*ḱ, *ǵ, *ǵʰ) into affricate and fricative consonants articulated in the front of the mouth.
Incomplete Satemization in Baltic, and, to a lesser extent, Slavic, is taken as an indication of the diffusion of the satem sound change, or, alternatively, due to loans via early contact of Proto-Baltic and Proto-Germanic speakers.

 Wikipedia: Satem
The Satem division of the Indo-European family includes the following branches: Indo-Iranian, Baltic and Slavic, Armenian, Albanian, plus a number of barely documented extinct languages, such as Thracian and Dacian (see: Indo-European languages).
By contrast, in the remainder of the Indo-European family (the so-called Centum languages), palato-velars lost their palatal component and merged with plain velars, while labio-velars remained distinct.
The Satem group is a paraphyletic group and thus not a phylogenetic unit.

The Indo-European sub-branches are often classified in a Satem and a Centum group.
For example, the Germanic (centum) and Balto-Slavic (satem) families are by many measures more closely related than Germanic is to co-centum groups such as Italic or Celtic and/or Slavic is to a co-satem grouping such as Iranian).
According to them, Satemization was a "central" development of the latest stage of proto-Indo-European, which did not reach "peripheral" dialects already separated geographically.

 Indo-European languages - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Satem languages lost the distinction between labiovelar and pure velar sounds, and at the same time assibilated the palatal velars.
Geographically, the "eastern" languages belong in the Satem group: Indo-Iranian and Balto-Slavic (but not including Tocharian and Anatolian); and the "western" languages represent the Centum group: Germanic, Italic, and Celtic.
The Satem-Centum isogloss runs right between the Greek (Centum) and Armenian (Satem) languages (which a number of scholars regard as closely related), with Greek exhibiting some marginal Satem features.

 Persian Classification
Satem is the Avestan (an ancient Iranian language) word for "hundred"; centum is the Latin word for "hundred".
Thus, the satem branch also includes Farsi, Pashto, Dari, Kurdish, Baluchi, and a number of other languages and dialects.
In satem languages, the two sounds for k remain separate phonemes, and the palatal k becomes a sibilant.

I doubt that there ever was a "Satem branch" or a "proto-Satem language".
Armenian for instance, though Satem, may be from the same branch as Greek.
The first element is from PIE *gwher-, 'warm', and does not show a Satem reflex.

 INDOEUROPEAN EVOLUTION
In Satem, PIE k becomes s or sh, g becomes z or zh, kw becomes k or c (as in church), and gw becomes g or j (as in John).
I suspect that the progression was to ph, th, kh, then to phi, theta, chi, and finally to f, f, and h.

 Centum and Satem   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
Based upon the difference in the word "hundred" in Latin (centum) and Asvestan (satem) two language families have been identified.
The western, centum, family includes Greek, Latin (with the Italic dialects), Venetic, Germanic, Celtic, Hittite and Tocharian although this latter does not occur in the West.
The "satem" languages are Slavic, Baltic, Albanian, Armenian and Aryan.

 Satem-Centum Divide, Bangani and Possible Indian Substrate - www.ezboard.com
Satem languages include Indic languages (Hindi or Assamese), Iranian, Slavic (Russian) and Armenian.
The distinguishing feature of Satem languages is that the word for hundred begins with an "S" sound (for instance 100 is "Sau" in Hindi).
This word obviously was not of much use during the Satem split, and it could well have been a variant of the word for 100.

 Centum and satem
Those languages with the s- (sh-) sound are classified satem (after the 'hundred' word in Avestan), those which have a k- sound are the centum languages (after the Latin word).
Note that in the satem languages, the labial element is lost.
As observed above, the centum languages retain the PIE articulation better than the satem group: the velars (/palato-velars) in the centum group did not become sibilants and the labial element was retained.

And here we discover something very interesting: according to the most up-to-date scholarly sources, the Albanian language is neither satem nor centum, but in fact has elements of both centum and satem in its sound-change patterns.
In fact, what seems to have happened is that the Thracian and Dacian languages were basically Centum, and became partly satemized under the influence of Phrygian and proto-Albanian.
This idea is given credence by this fact: the Thracian toponyms that end in '-diza/-deiza' are almost all in the extreme southeast corner of Thrace, the region surrounding Buzantion, and this region was closest to the Phrygians.
