	Ejective consonant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ejective consonants are a class of consonants which may contrast with aspirated or unaspirated consonants in a language.
		Language families which utilise ejective consonants include the Northwest, Northeast and South Caucasian families; the Athabaskan family; the Salishan family; the Afro-Asiatic family (notably Amharic and Hausa); the Khoisan family; and Korean.
		However, a very few languages utilise ejective fricatives as well; Ubykh (Northwest Caucasian) uses an ejective lateral fricative, the Upper Necaxa dialect of the Totonac language uses an ejective labiodental fricative, and Kabardian uses both of these in addition to ejective alveolopalatal and postalveolar fricatives.

		Morphologically, UNT is a highly polysynthetic agglutinating language whose verbs combine eight prefixal positions marking categories such as mood, tense, person/number of subject, person of object, number of object, direction, valence-increment, and bodypart with seven suffixal positions for categories such as valence-decrement, manner, quantification, desiderative, second-person object, second-person subject, and aspect.
		Current studies of language acquisition are based almost entirely on data from European languages and many claims about universal patterns and sequences in acquisition and how they are subsumed by the ontological development of human cognition are untested with languages and cultures outside the Western mainstream.

		The Totonac branch is larger and the structure of its family tree is not well-understood.
		The same holds true for the languages spoken in the Highlands, of which there are at least a dozen distinctive varieties.
		Upper Necaxa Totonac, for instance, is usually classified as a member the Northern group of the Highland variants, but it seems not to be mutually intellgible with neighbouring Northern variants such as those spoken in Zihuateutla or Apapantilla.

	Totonacan languages (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		The Totonacan Languages are a family of closely-related languages spoken by approximately 200,000 speakers in the states of Veracruz, Puebla, and Hidalgo in Mexico.
		The Totonacan languages are not demonstrably related to any other languages, although they show numerous areal features with other languages of the Mesoamerican sprachbund such as the Mayan languages and Nahuatl.
		Although the family is traditionally divided into two languages, Totonac and Tepehua, the various dialects thereof are not mutually intelligible and thus Totonac and Tepehua are better characterized as families in themselves.

		Totonac is an indigenous language spoken in the central eastern part of Mexico.
		As with many languages of the Americas, attempts to classify Totonac were first undertaken in the 1920s, 30s and 40s by such notable linguists as Edward Sapir, Benjamin Lee Whorf, and Morris Swadesh.
		Totonac is currently the native language of a dwindling number of speakers in three states-Puebla, Veracruz, and Hidalgo—on or near the east coast of central Mexico.

		In the languages where they are more obvious, ejectives are often described as sounding like "spat" consonants, but ejectivity is often quite weak; in some contexts, and in some languages, they are easy to mistake for unaspirated plosives.
		Among the scattered languages with ejectives elsewhere are Itelmen of the Chukotko-Kamchatkan languages and Yapese of the Austronesian family.
		A few languages utilise ejective fricatives: in some dialects of Hausa, the standard affricate [ts’] is a fricative [s’]; Ubykh (Northwest Caucasian) has an ejective lateral fricative; the Upper Necaxa dialect of the Totonac language has an ejective labiodental fricative; and Kabardian uses both of these in addition to ejective alveolopalatal and postalveolar fricatives.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Totonac Indians
		According to their own traditions, they had come from the north-west nearly eight centuries earlier, and had maintained an independent kingdom--of which the names of the successive kings are on record--until subjugated by the Aztec only about twenty-five years before the arrival of the Spaniards.
		In 1575-77 the Totonac, in common with all the other tribes of Southern Mexico, were ravaged by the mysterious matlalzahuatl epidemic, estimated to have destroyed two millions of the native race.
		The Totonac language, although considered by Sahagun and Orozco y Berra to be connected with that of their next neighbours, the Huastec, of Mayan stock, is held by Brinton to be of independent stock, but with considerable borrowings from Huastec and Aztec.

		However, some languages allow sounds that wouldn't normally be classified as vowels to form the nucleus of a syllable, such as the sound of ''m'' in the English language English word ''prism'', or the sound of ''r'' in the Czech language Czech word ''vrba'' (meaning "willow").
		In Japanese language Japanese and Quebec French, vowels that are between voiceless consonants are often devoiced.
		Spanish language Spanish and Modern Greek language Greek, for example, have this vowel system; Latin had a similar system that also distinguished between long and short vowels, although that distinction wasn't made in written Latin; it is for this reason that the Latin alphabet has five vowel letters.

		Languages that have switch reference indicate whether a subject or object of a clause is the same as or different from the subject or object of an earlier clause.
		Languages such as Russian and Latin, which distinguish the role of a noun (such as subject, direct object, or indirect object) by case marking are said to have nominal case systems.
		Such languages occur in Kickapoo (Algic) in Mexico near Texas; several Oto-Manguean languages, Nahuatl dialects, and the Totonac languages in Middle America; and the Aguaruna (Jívaroan) and the Sirionó (Tupi) in South America (whistle speech is not restricted to Native American languages, several African languages also use it).

		Consequently, Misantla Totonac is no longer acquired as a first language by the local children and is rapidly being replaced by Spanish.

	Animacy
		Usually, animacy has to do with how alive or how sentient a noun is. Humans, for instance, usually occupy a very high slot in an animacy hierarchy, only ever being ranked below deities or gods.
		Objects such as stones or grass may be ranked very low, and animals usually occupy a space in between; however, according to the spiritual beliefs of the people whose language possesses an animacy hierarchy, certain types of animal or plant may be ranked very highly in the hierarchy.
		Examples of languages which possess animacy hierarchies include the Mexican language Totonac and the Navajo and Apache languages of the Athabaskan family, whose animacy hierarchy has been the subject of intense study.

		Felipe Ramos is continuing the work begun in 1972 as the Totonac Bible Center, Inc. At that time, its primary goal was to support the work of Manuel Arenas, a brilliant Totonac Indian who was the principal translation helper for Herman Aschmann in his early translation efforts among the Highland Totonac people.
		The first was held at the Totonac Center, the others in the states of Oaxaca and Chiapas, as he wanted to attract more of the pastors from those areas.
		The Totonac Culture was a rival city state to the Aztecs, who had ruled most of what is now Veracruz in Mexico before the Aztecs conquered them about 25 years before the Spanish conquistador Cortés landed in AD 1516.
