Proto-Aslian is the reconstructed proto-language of the Aslian languages of Peninsular Malaysia and southern Thailand. It has been reconstructed by Timothy Phillips (2012). [1]
The 289 reconstructed Proto-Aslian forms below are from Phillips (2012:259-262).
Selected Aslian lexical innovations as identified by Paul Sidwell (2021): [2]
Gloss | Proto-Aslian | Kensiu | Jahai | Semnam | Semelai |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
‘bitter’ | *kədɛk | kadek | kadɛk | kdɛk | kədɛc |
‘marrow’ | *suəm | – | suwəp | lasuoːm | smsɔm |
‘bear’ | *kawãːp | kawap | kawip | kaweːp | – |
‘sweet’ | *gəhɛːt | gəhɛt | bhɛt | bhɛt | gɛhɛt ( Temoq) |
Proto-Aslian appears to have some phonological rime correspondences with Nancowry, suggesting that there could be a Southern Austroasiatic branch or linkage that includes Aslian and Nicobaric. Gérard Diffloth (2008) presents the following comparisons [3] (as quoted in Sidwell 2021 [2]).
Gloss | Proto-Aslian | Nancowry |
---|---|---|
‘house-fly’ | *ruəj | juəj |
‘wasp’ | *gr-tuəʔ | tũəʔ |
‘child’ | *kuən | kuən |
‘to scratch’ | *kuɔc | koac |
‘dream’ | *-mpuɔʔ | ʔinfoaʔ |
‘fingernail’ | *c-(n)r-uɔs | kisoah |
‘four’ | *puɔn | foan |
