Appendix:Oto-Manguean Swadesh lists

From Wiktionary, the free dictionary

This is a Swadesh list of Oto-Manguean languages, specifically Copala Triqui, Proto-Mixtecan, Isthmus Zapotec and Zapotec and one or more others, compared with that of English.

This list includes Totonacan, Mixe-Zoquean, Huave, and Tequistlatecan languages for comparative purposes. Included are:

  • Otomi (Hidalgo, Mexico)
  • Triqui (Western Oaxaca, Mexico) — San Juan Copala
  • Mixtec (Guerrero and Oaxaca, Mexico) — Tlaxiaco/Putla area Mixtec; unknown dialect
  • Zapotec (Oaxaca, Mexico) — Isthmus variant
  • Zapotec (Oaxaca, Mexico) — Villa Alta (Xhon) variant
  • Mazahua (State of Mexico, Mexico)
  • Totonac (Northern Veracruz, Mexico) — Totonacan language
  • Popoluca, Sierra (Southern Veracruz, Mexico) — Mixe-Zoquean language
  • Huave (Oaxaca, Mexico) — language isolate; San Francisco del Mar dialect
  • Chontal, Highland (Oaxaca, Mexico) — Tequistlatecan language (probably part of Hokan); San Matías dialect

Notes:

  • Isthmus Zapotec: 1 = low, 2 = rising, 3 = high, j = nasalization; no tone values = falling tone on final syllable, low tones on the rest.
  • Highland Chontal: "ł" (l-bar) is roughly pronounced as "hl" ("jl" in traditional Spanish orthography). The letter "h" is used as a glottal stop. The prefixes "gal-" and "la-" (with its variants) are often added to roots or stems. The "gu" is a hard "g," not "gw." Verb affixes include "di-" and "-hma," and noun affixes include "ła-" and "(g)al-."
  • Tones are not given for various languages, since they are not of paramount importance for comparative purposes.
  • Also, additional vocabulary words have been added after word no. 207 ("name"), since the original lengths of Swadesh lists are either 100 or 207 words.
