 Palatalization - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Old historical splits have frequently drifted since the time they occurred, and may be independent of current phonetic palatalization.
For example, Votic has undergone such a change historically, in for example keeli → tšeeli "language", but there is currently an additional distinction between palatalized laminal and non-palatalized apical consonants.
Palatalization has played a major role in the history of the Uralic, Romance, Slavic, Korean, Japanese, Chinese, and Indic languages, among many others throughout the world.

Modern Votic is actually a mixed language of Ingrian and Votic, with a strong element of Russian.
It might be questioned whether modern Votic is any longer a 'language' in the social sense, or whether it should be seen as a collection of several idiosyncratic languages or even idiolects.
On a historical timescale, it is already possible to talk of Votic as a substrate and a dying language.

This is a corpus-based study of the palato-velar vowel harmony system of the Finno-Ugric Votic language in the light of the markedness theory.
In addition to nine o-suffixes, there are also ten back-vocalic non-harmonic suffixes mainly with a; the front-vocalic genitive plural ending je can also occur in words that are otherwise back-vocalic.
The lack of non-initial o is a feature inherited from Proto-Finnic, but this also has been supported by the fact that adaptation to the harmony would in most suffixes have led to too many instances of allomorphy, because most of the non-harmonic suffixes contain k which would, before front vowels, have developed to ts.

The Votic language does not have a standardised writing system.
Dimitri Cvetkov, the Vote who wrote "Esimein Vaddja Čeeli Gramatikk" and also a dictionary of Jõgõperä Votic (this is now available translated and latinised by Johanna Laakso, so the format is Votic-Estonian-Russian-Finnish), had developed an orthography based on the Cyrillic script which well reflects the Orthodox Christian faith of the Votians.
I also hope that other people using, studying or otherwise working with the Votic language will find this system useful, and perhaps this will finally lead to a standardised orthography for the Votic language.

 Language
The five less numerous Baltic-Finnic groups-- Karelian, Veps, Ingrian, Votic, and Livonian--lie within Russia and the Baltic nations, largely in the general vicinity of the Gulf of Finland.
The Karelians, Veps, and Livonians were among the original Baltic-Finnic tribes; Votic is considered to be an offshoot of Estonian, and Ingrian a remote branch of Karelian.
None of these languages currently has a literary form, although unsuccessful initial attempts to establish one have been made for all but Votic (for Livonian as early as the 19th century, for the others during the 1930s).

It is known that Votic language is the most minor of Uralic languages.
In our days Votic speaking people live only in the same villages that Izhor speaking people, in addition they all speak Russian, so the fact that the Votic has not yet disappeared is surprising.
The good safety of all Votic language levels has been described by P. Ariste, however the safety of ancient polipredicative constructions is surprising too.
