Appendix talk:Khakas Swadesh list

Small problems with this list. Will add as I find them.

Hello, all sources I've encountered about Khakas language have excluded the voiceless palatal fricative as a phoneme (/ts/). However, in this list, and many others that seem to mirror it, we encounter the word "ацнирға". I'm not aware of where many of these translations were lifted from, but if they were lifted from text, I'm going to recommend that such text is looked over once more for accuracy. Based on sources I've read (Turkistan Library's dictionary and khakaschiry.ru), it seems more likely that the word is "аңнирға". This also follows as there is a root term "аң", which is already known to mean "animal".

If anyone can provide the original source for where these words are lifted, that would be helpful. I'm sure there are a few cases where "ғ" and "г" are conflated, which would be important to correct considering how the two are involved in many allomorph constructs.
