Dissertation by Daniel Bruhn

Research paper thumbnail of A Phonological Reconstruction of Proto-Central Naga

This dissertation presents a preliminary reconstruction of the phonology and lexicon (268 items) ... more This dissertation presents a preliminary reconstruction of the phonology and lexicon (268 items) of Proto-Central Naga (PCN), the putative ancestor of a group of Tibeto-Burman languages spoken primarily in Nagaland, a state in northeast India: Ao, Lotha, Sangtam, and Yimchungrü. Also reconstructed in the process is the phonology and lexicon (386 items) of Proto-Ao (PAo), the intermediate ancestor of the Ao lects. Teleo-reconstructions of Proto-Tibeto-Burman (PTB) are drawn upon to examine the sound changes that took place in the development from PTB to the Central Naga languages.

Three verb stem classes are established, and their tonal properties, along with those of various inflectional suffixes, are examined within the framework of Autosegmental Phonology .
