*bud) < PIE *beud-. I-stem and u-stem adjectives no longer existed. [35], Also present in Balto-Slavic were the diphthongs *ei and *ai as well as liquid diphthongs *ul, *il, *ur, *ir, the latter set deriving from syllabic liquids;[36] the vocalic element merged with *u after labiovelar stops and with *i everywhere else, and the remaining labiovelars subsequently lost their labialization. Palatalized consonants never developed in Southwest Slavic (modern Croatian, Serbian, and Slovenian), and the merger of * * * with *l *n *r did not happen before front vowels (although Serbian and Croatian later merged * with *r). [8] The neoacuted vowel could be either short or long, depending on the original length of the syllable before the retraction. Stress only, as in Ukrainian, Russian and Bulgarian: stressed vs. unstressed a. This contraction can occur only when both vowels flanking /j/ are unstressed, but when it occurs, it occurs fairly early in Late Common Slavic, before. "hare". *venzj(ti) "s/he ties" > MCS *v(t) > LCS *ve(t) > Russian , This page was last edited on 3 July 2022, at 08:22. *utro) also show *ju-. The aorist was retained, preserving the PIE thematic and sigmatic aorist types (the former is generally termed the root aorist in Slavic studies), and a new productive aorist arose from the sigmatic aorist by various analogical changes, e.g. It is likely that linguistic affinity played an important role in defining group identity for the Slavs. Both classes originally had both acute and circumflex stems in them. Latvian and Lithuanian). From Proto-Balto-Slavic, the later Balto-Slavic languages are thought to have developed, composed of sub-branches Baltic and Slavic, and including modern Lithuanian, Polish, Russian and Serbo-Croatian, among others. A tag already exists with the provided branch name. Some scholars do not use the term "Common Slavic" at all. Common Slavic *destyj ko "the tenth horses (accusative plural)" appears as destyj ko in Old Church Slavonic and desete konje in Serbo-Croatian (South Slavic), but as dest kon in modern Czech and dziesite konie in Polish (West Slavic), and as (desjatyje koni, nominative plural) in Russian (East Slavic). It is argued that the Balto-Slavic acute tone was a glottal stop which developed from the Indo-European laryngeals and from Winter's law and that the original circumflex continues other vocalic sequences. Proto-Slavic retained several of the grammatical categories inherited from Proto-Indo-European, especially in nominals (nouns and adjectives). When possible, consonants in the coda were resyllabified into the onset of the following syllable. [68] On the other hand, loan words in the early historic period (c. 9th century) are generally not affected by the palatalizations. A new set of "semi-thematic" endings were formed by analogy (corresponding to modern conjugation class II), combining the thematic first singular ending with otherwise athematic endings. sign in Four-way Serbo-Croatian system, also used in Slovenian and often in Slavic reconstructions: long rising , short rising , long falling , short falling . The distribution of short and long vowels in the stems without /j/ reflects the original vowel lengths, prior to the operation of Van Wijk's law, Dybo's law and Stang's law, which led to AP b nouns and the differing lengths in /j/ stems. Proto-Balto-Slavic is a reconstructed proto-language descending from Proto-Indo-European (PIE). Verbs also had three accent paradigms, with similar characteristics to the corresponding noun classes. This language in turn is descended from Proto-Indo-European, the parent language of the vast majority of European languages (including English, German, Spanish, French, etc.). This does not necessarily guarantee a certain ordering of the changes, however, as explained above in the vowel fronting section. sg.) The indefinite inflection was identical to the inflection of o- and a-stem nouns, while the definite inflection was formed by suffixing the relative/anaphoric pronoun *j to the end of the normal inflectional endings. Proto-Balto-Slavic terms that indicate people, beings, things, places, phenomena, qualities or ideas. Middle Common Slavic (c.600800): The stage with the earliest identifiable dialectal distinctions. The following table explains these differences: For consistency, all discussions of words in Early Slavic and before (the boundary corresponding roughly to the monophthongization of diphthongs, and the Slavic second palatalization) use the common Balto-Slavic notation of vowels. There, their early South Slavic dialect used for the translations was clearly understandable to the local population which spoke an early West Slavic dialect. There was (at most) a single accented syllable per word, distinguished by higher pitch (as in e.g. All weak cases (genitive, dative, instrumental, locative) in the plural are ending-stressed. Proto-Balto-Slavic lemmas, categorized by their part of speech. However, it did operate on the high nasal vowel *, leading to alternations, e.g. Work fast with our official CLI. This is because the strong yer preceding /j/ is a. Verweij has *synv here, with unexpected long rising accent on an originally short vowel. The imperative and subjunctive moods disappeared, while the old optative came to be used as the imperative instead. The distinction between * and * is based on etymology and have different effects on a preceding consonant: * triggers the first palatalization and then becomes *a, while * triggers the second palatalization and does not change. There were many changes in accentuation during the Common Slavic period, and there are significant differences in the views of different scholars on how these changes proceeded. you can support us by purchasing something through our amazon-url, thanks :) proto-balto-slavic is a reconstructed proto-language descending from proto-indo-european .from. The Balto-Slavic languages form a branch of the Indo-European family of languages, traditionally comprising the Baltic and Slavic languages.Baltic and Slavic languages share several linguistic traits not found in any other Indo-European branch, which points to a period of common development. The accent would then be retracted again by Ivi's law. Various compound tenses were created, e.g. Beginning around AD500, the Slavic speakers rapidly expanded in all directions from a homeland in eastern Poland and western Ukraine. *ordlo > Czech rdlo, Polish rado, but Serbo-Croatian ralo. However, the situation is somewhat more complicated due to the large number of verb stem classes and the numerous forms in verbal paradigms. This is based on Czech, Verweij has *krnm here, with unexpected -m ending when AP, The first form is the result in languages without contraction over /j/ (e.g. ", Another important aspect of this period is that the Iranian dialects of the Scythians and Sarmatians had a considerable impact on the Slavic vocabulary, during the extensive contacts between the aforementioned languages and (early) Proto-Slavic for about a millennium,[17] and the eventual absorption and assimilation (e.g. (Vowel length is normally considered a separate topic from accent, but in the Slavic languages in particular, the two are closely related, and are usually treated together.) [39][40] As such, the chronology of changes including the three palatalizations and ending with the change of * to *a in certain contexts defines the Common Slavic period. Nevertheless, taken together, these changes significantly altered the distribution of the pitch accents and vowel length, to the point that by the end of the Late Common Slavic period almost any vowel could be short or long, and almost any accented vowel could have falling or rising pitch. Syllable-final nasals *m and *n (i.e. The language they recorded is known as Old Church Slavonic. The placement of the accent was free and thus phonemic; it could occur on any syllable and its placement was inherently part of the word. For example, the Freising monuments show a dialect which contains some phonetic and lexical elements peculiar to Slovenian dialects (e.g. Many modern Slavic languages have since lost all length distinctions. Its words and roots are not directly attested in any written works, but have been reconstructed through the comparative method, which finds regular similarities between languages that cannot be explained by coincidence or word-borrowing, and extrapolates ancient forms from these similarities.

What caused the rapid expansion of Slavic remains a topic of discussion. This happened the least in Russian and the most in Czech. In non-initial syllables, all accented syllables were rising in pitch. During the Late Common Slavic period, from c. 800 to 1000, conceptual sound changes (e.g. In the Late Common Slavic period, several sound changes occurred. *atiku(s) "father" (nom. similar verbs in the Latin -re conjugation), factitive verbs in *-- (cf. Thus: The vowels described as "short" and "long" were simultaneously distinguished by length and quality in Middle Common Slavic. PIE athematic verbs. What I previously already picked are the words for "silver" and "gold" (the latter is also a word . However, verbs had become much more simplified, but displayed their own unique innovations. Rapid phonological change continued, alongside the massive expansion of the Slavic-speaking area. The split between Baltic and Slavic branches has been dated to around 3,500-2,500 YBP [ 6 - 8 ], whereas further diversification of the Slavic languages probably occurred much later, around 1,700-1,300 YBP according to [ 6 - 8, 10 - 12 ]. Dybo's law was the first of the major accent shifts in Proto-Slavic. However, a new analytic mediopassive was formed using the reflexive particle *s, much as in the Romance languages. This was closely followed by the monophthongization of diphthongs in all environments, in accordance with the law of open syllables. Consonant clusters were permitted, but only at the beginning of a syllable. The verb *kydnti, on the other hand, preserves the cluster dn only in Czech and Slovak, simplifying it to n elsewhere. Proto-Slavic also had paired motion verbs (e.g. However, different parts of a verb's conjugation could have different accent classes, due to differences in syllable structure and sometimes also due to historical anomalies. According to Meillet's law, words with a mobile accent paradigm lost the acute feature in the first syllable of the word, if there was one. Are you sure you want to create this branch? In the process, the palatal sonorants * * * merged with alveolar *l *n *r before front vowels, with both becoming *l *n *r. Two subclasses existed: those with. The result of this fronting was as follows (with J acting as a cover symbol for any consonant with a palatal articulation): Towards the end of the Late Common Slavic period, an opposing change happened, in which long *J was backed to *J. Prothesis generally did not apply to short *a (which developed into *o or nasal *), although some East Slavic dialects seem to have developed it regardless. [1][2] From here, various daughter dialects dispersed radially in several waves between c. 4400 and 3000BC. The following table lists various consonant alternations that occurred in Proto-Slavic, as a result of various suffixes or endings being attached to stems: Vowels were fronted when following a palatal or "soft" consonant (*j, any iotated consonant, or a consonant that had been affected by the progressive palatalization). The first continuous texts date from the late 9th century and were written in Old Church Slavonicbased on the Slavic dialect used in the region of Thessaloniki in Greek Macedoniaas part of the Christianization of the Slavs by Saints Cyril and Methodius and their followers. Each of the pair is also in fact a pair of perfective vs. imperfective verbs, where the perfective variant often uses a prefix *po-. The diphthong *au-, later *u-, mostly resists prothesis, but some cases (e.g. Contents 1 Proto-Balto-Slavic 1.1 Etymology 1.2 Noun 1.2.1 Inflection 1.2.2 Derived terms 1.2.3 Descendants 1.3 References Proto-Balto-Slavic [ edit] The Prehistory of the Balto-Slavic Accent PDF EPUB AZW3 MOBI DJVU . The infinitive stem may end in either a vowel or a consonant. sg.) However, there is no guarantee that vowel fronting followed the progressive palatalization despite the fact that the output of the latter process was affected by vowel fronting. Long vowels bearing the acute (long rising) accent were usually shortened, resulting in a short rising intonation. Only a single paradigm (in both hard and soft form) existed, descending from the PIE o- and a-stem inflection. The most prominent of these pu-tative sound laws are the change of PIE mediae aspiratae into tenues, and the change of the PIE tenues into mediae (hence the handy name of the substratum language, Temematic). ent from Balto-Slavic sound laws, that can be observed in 45 different ety-mons attested in Balto-Slavic languages. See Proto-Balto-Slavic language#Notation for much more detail on the uses of the most commonly encountered diacritics for indicating prosody (, , , , , a, , ) and various other phonetic distinctions (, , , , , etc.) This resulted in new sequences of velars followed by front vowels, where they did not occur before. Middle Common Slavic had the following vowel system (IPA symbol where different): The columns marked "central" and "back" may alternatively be interpreted as "back unrounded" and "back rounded" respectively, but rounding of back vowels was distinctive only between the vowels *y and *u. Category:Proto-Slavic adjectives: Proto-Slavic terms that give attributes to nouns, extending their definitions. [1] The phonological changes which set Balto-Slavic apart from other Indo-European languages probably lasted from c. 3000 to 1000BC, a period known as common Proto-Balto-Slavic. Many Git commands accept both tag and branch names, so creating this branch may cause unexpected behavior. All single-syllable AP a stems are long. In Middle Common Slavic, all accented long vowels, nasal vowels and liquid diphthongs had a distinction between two pitch accents, traditionally called "acute" and "circumflex" accent. A few Eastern Iranian loan words, especially relating to religious and cultural practices, have been seen as evidence of cultural influences. As in its ancestors, Proto-Balto-Slavic and Proto-Indo-European, one syllable of each Common Slavic word was accented (carried more prominence). The sequence *ji- could belong to accent paradigm a, while the sequence *j- could not. Generally, when verbs as a whole are classified according to accent paradigm, the present tense paradigm is taken as the base. A third type of pitch accent developed, known as the "neoacute", as a result of sound laws that retracted the accent (moved it to the preceding syllable). (The main exception is the Codex Zographensis, copied just before yer loss.) (*dati has a finite stem *dad-, suggesting derivation by some sort of reduplication.) Meillet's law did not apply in these cases. For this purpose, the "stem" includes any morphological suffixes (e.g. In j-stems this resulted in neoacute on the stem in all forms, and in jo-stems in all plural forms. [3], Middle Common Slavic had the following consonants (IPA symbols where different):[4]. Significant complications to all theories are posed by the Old Novgorod dialect, known particularly since the 1950s, which has no application of the second regressive palatalization and only partial application of the progressive palatalization (to *k and sometimes *g, but not to *x). The most important early changes are:[70]. [37], Around this time, the PIE aspirated consonants merged with voiced ones:[38]. Dybo's law occurred before the loss of *j between unstressed vowels, and could shift the accent onto the resulting long vowel. On the other hand, it does include well-developed terminology for inland bodies of water (lakes, river, swamps) and kinds of forest (deciduous and coniferous), for the trees, plants, animals and birds indigenous to the temperate forest zone, and for the fish native to its waters. In Common Balto-Slavic, Proto-Indo-European Initial *g becomes *z. Reconstruction:Proto-Balto-Slavic/ spnas. However, in this case, several later dialects denasalized the vowel at an early date. the -- of feminine -stem nouns), which is considered part of the ending. Fundamental All languages Proto-Balto-Slavic Lemmas Nouns. The following 29 pages are in this category, out of 29 total. As part of this development, diphthongs were monophthongized, and nasal consonants in the syllable coda were reduced to nasalization of the preceding vowel (* and *). From Proto-Balto-Slavic *krw, irregular centum reflex of Proto-Indo-European *orh-weh, from *erh-(" head, top; horn "). F Proto-Balto-Slavic nominals with fixed accent (84 e) M Proto-Balto-Slavic nominals with mobile accent (63 e) This fits with the linguistic evidence in that Balto-Slavic appears to have had close contacts with Indo-Iranian and Proto-Germanic.

This commit does not belong to any branch on this repository, and may belong to a fork outside of the repository. PBS was an unwritten language and no one text was found before. Both of these two languages connected one another. The paradigms below reflect these changes. A pre-Slavic period began c. 1500 to 1000BC, whereby certain phonological changes and linguistic contacts did not disperse evenly through all Balto-Slavic dialects. However, this division ignores the formation of the infinitive stem. Kortlandt, place the beginning of dialectal developments later by postulating an outcome * of the second regressive palatalization, which only later developed into *s or *. "run", "walk", "swim", "fly", but also "ride", "carry", "lead", "chase", etc.). The complicated accentual patterns produced by Ivi's law were levelled to some degree already within Common Slavic. Catalan Pronunciation: Chinese (Mandarin) Pronunciation: Chinese (China) Pronunciation . The terminology of these periods is not consistent. This occurred at a time when the Slavic-speaking area was already dialectally differentiated, and usually syllables with the acute and/or circumflex accent were shortened around the same time. 1 Answer. These became simple dental fricatives *s and *z in Proto-Slavic: This sound change was incomplete, in that all Baltic and Slavic languages have instances where PIE palatovelars appear as *k and *g, often in doublets (i.e. Retraction from a yer skipped over intervening yers, even if strong. Significant continuous Slavic-language texts exist from this period, beginning with the extant Old Church Slavonic (OCS) texts, composed in the 9th century but copied in the 10th century. Dialectal differentiation occurred early on during this period, but overall linguistic unity and mutual intelligibility continued for several centuries, into the 10th century or later. Most syllables in Middle Common Slavic were open. However, Proto-Slavic was still operating under the system of syllabic synharmony. This is connected to the movement of east Germanic groups into the Vistula basin, and subsequently to the middle Dnieper basin, associated with the appearance of the Przeworsk and Chernyakhov cultures, respectively. There was no class with fixed accent on the ending. The AP b jo-stem nouns were also simplified, but less dramatically, with consistent ending stress in the singular but consistent root stress in the plural, as shown. The following tables are examples of Proto-Slavic noun-class paradigms, based on Verweij (1994). Two different and conflicting systems for denoting vowels are commonly in use in Indo-European and Balto-Slavic linguistics on the one hand, and Slavic linguistics on the other. This category contains only the following page. There were two sources for this process. Cleaned and merged data can be found here: https://github.com/Aries298/Proto-Slavic-Lemmas-Dataset. These nouns earlier belonged to AP b; as a result, grammars may treat them as belonging either to AP a or b. Proto-Balto-Slavic is a reconstructed language. There seems to have been some uncertainty concerning the interpretation of long * as a rounded or unrounded vowel. PIE nasal-infix presents. Instead, Slavicists typically handle the entire period of dialectally differentiated linguistic unity as Common Slavic. The initial e-, however, is what is found in Derksen (2008) and other sources. The progressive palatalization also affected vowel fronting; it created palatal consonants before back vowels, which were then fronted. Matasovi (2008) argues that it was borrowed from Celtic in prehistorical times due to the impossibility of deriving it by regular sound laws: Fundamental All languages Proto-Balto-Slavic Lemmas. Latvian and Lithuanian). The last stage in which the language remained without internal differences that later characterize different Slavic languages can be dated around AD500 and is sometimes termed Proto-Slavic proper or Early Common Slavic. The following table lists the combinations (vowel softening may alter the outcomes). During the Common Slavic period, prothetic glides were inserted before words that began with vowels, consistent with the tendency for rising sonority within a syllable. This created two new alternation patterns, which did not exist in PIE: short *e, *o, *, * versus long *, *a, *i, *y. If nothing happens, download Xcode and try again. By the end of this period, most of the features of the modern Slavic languages had been established. This is an updated version using Beautiful Soup. There is no scholarly consensus concerning either the number of stages involved in the development of the language (its periodization) or the terms used to describe them. Verbs in accent paradigm a are the most straightforward, with acute accent on the stem throughout the paradigm. alveolar rather than palatoalveolar affricates, including the East/West split in the outcome of palatalized *x: There is significant debate over when this palatalization took place and the exact contexts in which the change was phonologically regular. By the beginning of the Late Common Slavic period, all or nearly all syllables had become open as a result of developments in the liquid diphthongs. This new * did not originally merge with the result of nasalizing original *im/*in, as shown in the table. See History of Proto-Slavic#Accentual developments for more details. Proto-Slavic, the supposed ancestor language of all Slavic languages, is a descendant of common Proto-Indo-European, via a Balto-Slavic stage in which it developed numerous lexical and morphophonological isoglosses with the Baltic languages. Russian), while the second form is the result in languages with such contraction. Despite these developments, Slavic remained conservative and was still typologically very similar to other Balto-Slavic dialects. The PIE mediopassive voice disappeared entirely except for the isolated form vd "I know" in Old Church Slavonic (< Late PIE *woid-ai, a perfect mediopassive formation). The following 81 pages are in this category, out of 81 total. [6] This left no closed syllables at all in these languages. [4], Similarly, Balto-Slavic and Indo-Iranian might have formed some kind of continuum from the north-west to the south-east, given that they share both satemization and the Ruki sound law. As a result, these paradigms do not necessarily reflect a consensus. This is clearly revealed in the texts themselves: During the century or so between the composition and copying of the OCS texts, the weak yers disappeared as vowels, and as a result, the texts show marked instability in their representation. Syllables with liquid diphthongs beginning with *o or *e had been converted into open syllables, for example *TorT became *TroT, *TraT or *ToroT in the various daughter languages. pronouncekiwi - How To Pronounce Proto-Slavic lemmas.

In the second half of the ninth century, the Slavic dialect spoken north of Thessaloniki, in the hinterlands of Macedonia, became the basis for the first written Slavic language, created by the brothers Cyril and Methodius who translated portions of the Bible and other church books. Unaccented (unstressed) vowels never had tonal distinctions, but could still have length distinctions. Kurganists connect the latter two cultures with the so-called "Northwest (IE) group"[4] and the Iranian-speaking steppe nomads, respectively. These cases merged with existing word-initial sequences of glide + vowel, and show the same outcome in the later languages. As a result, it is customary to speak of a "Common Slavic" period during which sound changes spread across the entire Slavic-speaking area, but not necessarily with uniform results. The language described in this article generally reflects the middle period, usually termed Late Proto-Slavic (sometimes Middle Common Slavic[2]) and often dated to around the 7th to 8th centuries. The second was the progressive palatalization (see below), which produced new palatal consonants before back vowels. Hase [haz] Eng. [citation needed]. Proto-Slavic-Lemmas-Scraper Wiktionary scraper for Proto-Slavic Lemmas Wiktionary scraper to extract reconstructed proto slavic words and their Polish/Old Polish counterparts This is an updated version using Beautiful Soup. The acute is used in several other Slavic languages (such as Polish, Serbo-Croatian and Macedonian) to denote a similar "frontal" quality to a consonant. Originally in Balto-Slavic, there were only two accent classes, fixed (with fixed stem accent) and mobile (with accent alternating between stem and ending). "[16] This has been substantiated archaeologically, seen by the development of networks which spread of "Slavic fibulae", artifacts representing social status and group identity. Discussions of Middle and Late Common Slavic, as well as later dialects, use the Slavic notation. [52] Some Germanic loanwords were borrowed early enough to be affected by the first palatalization. Thus, e.g. Article 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in reconstructed Proto-Slavic language, written in Latin alphabet: Article 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in English:[11], Proto-language of all the Slavic languages, For more detail on the development from Proto-Balto-Slavic to Proto-Slavic to modern Slavic languages, see, The first form is the result in languages without contraction over /j/ (e.g. A standard example is *va "will", with neoacute accent on a short syllable. In the first, vowel length is consistently distinguished with a macron above the letter, while in the latter it is not clearly indicated. The combination of Van Wijk's law and Stang's law would have originally produced a complex mobile paradigm in these nouns, different from the mobile paradigm of -stem and other nouns, but this was apparently simplified in Common Slavic times with a consistent neoacute accent on the stem, as if they were AP a nouns. [11] Even into the Common Era, the various Balto-Slavic dialects formed a dialect continuum stretching from the Vistula to the Don and Oka basins, and from the Baltic and upper Volga to southern Russia and northern Ukraine. * and *an apparently did not take part in the fronting of back vowels, or in any case the effect was not visible. Category:Proto-Balto-Slavic nouns by gender: Proto-Balto-Slavic nouns organized by the gender they belong to. Fundamental All languages Proto-Balto-Slavic. Nasalization also occurred before a nasal consonant, whenever a vowel was followed by two nasals. loss of nasalization), Various strongly palatal(ized) consonants (a more "hissing" quality in case of, Three-way system of Proto-Slavic, Proto-Balto-Slavic, modern Lithuanian: Acute tone (, Four-way Serbo-Croatian system, also used in Slovenian and often in Slavic reconstructions: long rising (, Length only, as in Czech and Slovak: long (, Stress only, as in Russian, Ukrainian and Bulgarian: stressed (, *pvti "to spit" < PIE *(s)pieHu-, cf. A tendency for rising sonority in a syllable (arrangement of phonemes in a syllable from lower to higher sonority) marks the beginning of the Common Slavic period. The Proto-Baltic-Slavic language (PBS) was been reconstructed by linguists which used the comparative method for it. When the accent was advanced onto a long non-acute syllable, it was retracted again by Ivi's law to give a neoacute accent, in the same position as the inherited Balto-Slavic short or circumflex accent. "I walked to my friend's house") and the other expressing indeterminate action (motion to and then back, and motion without a specified goal). The newly-accented syllable gained a new type of rising accent, termed the neoacute. In East Slavic, the liquid diphthongs in * or * may have likewise become syllabic sonorants, but if so, the change was soon reversed, suggesting that it may never have happened in the first place. The reason is that the rule triggering vowel fronting may well have operated as a surface filter, i.e. By around 1000, the area had broken up into separate East Slavic, West Slavic and South Slavic languages, and in the following centuries it broke up further into the various modern Slavic languages of which the following are extant: Belarusian, Russian, Rusyn and Ukrainian in the East; Czech, Slovak, Polish, Kashubian and the Sorbian languages in the West, and Bulgarian, Macedonian, Serbo-Croatian and Slovenian in the South. Both linguists and archaeologists therefore often locate the Slavic Urheimat specifically within this area. [28] Horace Lunt argues that only as a lingua franca could Slavic have remained mutually intelligible over vast areas of Europe, and that its disintegration into different dialects occurred after the collapse of the Avar khanate. If nothing happens, download GitHub Desktop and try again. In West Slavic (except southern Slovak), short e and o gaining the neoacute were automatically lengthened. The loss of the acute feature in syllables immediately following the accent, this time with shortening of the vowel. Unlike the other two, it was triggered by a preceding vowel, in particular a preceding *i or *, with or without an intervening *n.[30] Furthermore, it was probably disallowed before consonants and the high back vowels *y, *. This type of alternation may have still been productive in Proto-Slavic, as a way to form imperfective verbs from perfective ones. A Proto-Balto-Slavic -stem nouns (36 e) C Liquid diphthongs were eliminated in most Slavic languages, but with different outcomes in different languages.[45][46]. The most archaic Slavic hydronyms are found here, along the middle Dnieper, Pripet and upper Dniester rivers. Instead, it evolved in Common Slavic times to a high-mid nasal vowel *, higher than the low-mid vowel *. This accounts for the irregular infinitive ending some verbs such as Polish mc, Russian from Proto-Slavic *moi < *mog-ti, where normally these languages have infinitives in - and - respectively. Newly accented long vowels gained a falling tone, while short vowels (whether originally short or shortened acute) received a rising tone. All other strong cases (singular and plural) are stem-stressed. Rapid development of Slavic speech occurred during the Proto-Slavic period, coinciding with the massive expansion of the Slavic-speaking area. The three palatalizations must have taken place between the 2nd and 9th century. There are only two Baltic languages spoken today: Lithuanian and Latvian. The loss of the acute feature in all syllables, except in accented syllables and syllables that immediately followed the accent. When the cluster was not permissible as a syllable onset, any impermissible consonants were deleted from the coda. The weak variants could no longer be accented, and if they were accented before, the accent was retracted onto the preceding syllable if there was one. The *- ending that marks the nominative singular of the (j)-stems and nominativeaccusative plural of the neuter. [47] This is called syllable synharmony or intrasyllabic harmony. A new synthetic imperfect was created by attaching a combination of the root and productive aorist endings to a stem suffix *-a- or *-aa-, of disputed origin. Special points of attention are the gen.pl. This change probably did not occur together with the first regressive palatalization, but somewhat later, and it remained productive well into the Late Common Slavic period. The Proto-Slavic language, the hypothetical ancestor of the modern-day Slavic languages, developed from the ancestral Proto-Balto-Slavic language (c. 1500BC), which is the parent language of the Balto-Slavic languages (both the Slavic and Baltic languages, e.g. Only five verbs, all irregular in one way or another, including their prefixed derivations. Where the final syllable contains a yer, the accent is retracted onto the thematic vowel and becomes neoacute (short on *e, long on *i). [62] The traditional view is that this palatalization took place just after the second regressive palatalization (hence its traditional designation as the "third palatalization"), or alternatively that the two occurred essentially simultaneously.
