On Reconstructing the Proto-Salish Sound System
Academic Work
There is a lack of agreement on the sound system of PS on two main points at present: (a) the status of PS *r and (b) the labial and labialized velar series. In addition, there still exists doubt on one overall comparative question, to wit, the CS counterparts of the IS uvular resonants ʔ ʔw. In the present paper an attempt is made to clear up these points. Swadesh's 1952 phoneme inventory is taken as a point of departure, with the following modifications: e and y (velar resonant) are added, and so are glottalized resonants (these will not concern us further). A is eliminated, the arrangement is changed.
