Tsang'hi Language

by Vorsitzenderin Sofia

Tsang’hi (/tsaŋˈhi/) is the largest surviving Oayi language and the best-described member of the Oayi branch, preserving the family’s tonal-harmonic system in its most productive form. It has a compact segmental inventory centred on /m n ŋ ʙ ħ ʘ/ and a six-vowel system /a e i ɨ o u/, with a strong preference for closed roots such as VC, CVC and CVCC. Each vowel-bearing syllable carries one of three tonal readings: falling citation, central linked/topical, or rising affected/processual, producing larger tone grids in compounds. Its phonology is shaped by vowel harmony, consonantal drift, and final nasal whistle releases, with /ŋ n m/ giving high, middle, and low offglides respectively. Morphosyntactically, Tsang’hi is analytic to lightly compounding, with freer clause order than its lexical layout suggests, tone doing much of the grammatical work normally handled by inflection.

Buru Language

by Vorsitzenderin Sofia

Buru (/ˈbu.ru/) is an extinct Oayi language and the reference member of the Buru Family, known mainly through fragmentary comparative forms and later scholarly reconstruction. It preserves older Oayi root shapes more clearly than its daughters, with a mostly (C)V(C) rhythm, closed lexical roots, weak penultimate stress in citation forms, and a compact vowel system /i e ɨ a o u/. Its consonant inventory includes /m n ŋ p b t k kʼ ʔ s x h β r l j w/, reflecting older Oayi pressure consonants in reduced form but lacking Tsang’hi’s productive tonal grid and Muhyar’s creaky-vowel development. Final nasals retain faint traces of the ancestral high, middle, and low release pattern, though these are no longer fully contrastive. Morphosyntactically, Buru is reconstructed as lightly agglutinative and mostly suffixing, with head-final compounds and conservative roots later split across Huni, Kasa, and Pava.
