 SALA Conference
In the first pattern, exemplified by Telugu and Kannada, no codas are permitted after long vowels; in the second type, Tamil, some codas (the first member of an obstruent geminate or nasal-obstruent cluster) are permitted after long vowels; in the third type, Malayalam, all codas are permitted after long vowels.
I argue that weight-bearing codas are only found after short vowels in Kannada, Telugu and Tamil, and are nonexistent in Malayalam, and that identical sequences are syllabified differently because the languages differ in the weight assigned to coda consonants.
Weight-bearing codas are further restricted to the initial syllable in Kannada, Telugu and Tamil.
