戎语支的创新和划分

深受"感染"的亲属语言,同源词的多寡不足以确定彼此之间的亲疏关系。同样,语言的语法类型也会因"感染"而发生根本性的改变。确定语言间的发生学关系和亲属语言间的亲疏远近,最关键的还要靠语音规则以及语音形式上的创新。本文依据戎语支的元音创新对戎语支语言进行划分。

For deeply ＂contaminated＂ genetically related languages, the number of cognate words is deficient for determining internal subgrouping. In the same vein, grammatical typology may undergo fundamental changes due to ＂contamination＂ effects. Therefore, phonological rules and innovations are by all means critical to determine whether certain given languages are genetically related and what internal affdiations hold among them. This paper proposes a subgrouping of the （Gyal）Rongic branch the light of vowel innovations of the Rongic languages.
