Salar Dialects[edit]

Acc. to Tenishev's work:

There are two main dialects in Salar: Altiuli (Jiezi) and Mınta (Mengda). Jiezi/Gaizi, Chahandusi, Qingshui, Baizhuang in Xunhua are Jiezi and the most common dialects, and there is less common Mengda dialect too. Qingshui and Baizhuang are transitional dialects, they have both dialectal features but mainly they are Jiezi too.

• Initial:

  Old Turkic initial-b is /v/ in Jiezi, /b/, /p/ in Mengda. We should prefer v letter for these words.

  Reasons: /v/ is the most common. (If you don't agree, please discuss)

  Old Turkic initial-t is /t/ in Jiezi, but /ʒ/ in Mengda. We should prefer d letter for these words.

  Reasons: /t/ is the most common. We don't have to create new pages in this way, Turkish and Azerbaijani would have. (If you don't agree, please discuss)

• Middle:

  Old Turkic b between vowels is /v/ in Salar. We should prefer v letter.

  Reasons: /v/ is the most common. (If you don't agree, please discuss)

  Old Turkic p after long vowel is /v/ or /w/ in Salar (/b/ in western Oghuzs). We should prefer v letter.

  Reasons: /v/ is the most common. (If you don't agree, please discuss)

  Old Turkic č after long vowel is /ʝ/ in Salar (/dʒ/ in western Oghuzs), but if it has an hard consonant like /x/, it may be /tʃ/. As in açıq#Salar and quçaq#Salar. We should prefer c for /ʝ/, ç for /tʃ/ letter.

  Reasons: They pronounce so. (If you don't agree, please discuss)

• Final:

  Old Turkic final-č is /ʃ/ in Salar, but if it has a suffix starts with a vowel, it becomes /tʃ/ as in aş#Salar -> açıl#Salar. We should prefer ş for /ʃ/, ç for /tʃ/ letter. (If the final-č is not /ʃ/, it will correspond to the sound /dʒ/ in Azerbaijani and it is a dialect, its pronunciation with /ʝ/ should be more common. See uc#Salar and uş#Salar. But only at the end of the word can such a dialect be found, with a low probability. The sound that should be /ʝ/ in the middle is not recorded as /tʃ/ at all, with the exceptions mentioned above.)

  Reasons: They pronounce so. (If you don't agree, please discuss)

• Vowels:

  Sometimes Old Turkic initial-a and -e is /ɨ/, /ɯ/, /i/ in Jiezi, /ɑ/, /e/ in Mengda. We should prefer a and e letter for these words.

  Reasons: /ɑ/ and /ɨ/, /e/ and /i/ can change in Salar. E.g; bala -> balılar, gece -> gecisi (We prefer to spell as balalar and gecesi). We should prefer the standart form. We don't have to create new pages in this way. (If you don't agree, please discuss)

  Old Turkic initial-ö is /ø/ in Jiezi, /o/ in Mengda. We should prefer ö letter for these words.

  Reasons: /ø/ is the most common. Also it does not lack vowel harmony. (If you don't agree, please discuss)

  Before the /v/ and /w/, vowels are more rounded than it is in Old Turkic. (tavışgan > dovşan, taguk > tovaq, sāpan > sovan, çībin > cüvin/cüyin, etc.)

References[edit]

1. {{R:slr:Kunlun}} literally doesn't have any difference between /ʝ/ and /ç/ or /tʃ/, both shown as /tɕ/. Don't use this work for such pronunciations. According to this study, there are two voices, /tɕ/ and /tɕʰ/, while we represent them both with ç letter. Same is seen in {{R:slr:MaWei}}, {{R:slr:MaWei2}}. In this case, we will not use the letter c at all? Yes, we will. {{R:slr:Yakup}}, {{R:slr:Stroy}}, {{R:slr:Potanin}}, {{R:slr:MaChengjun}}, {{R:slr:Kakuk}} have /ʝ/ (or /dʒ/) sound. Potanin's ч is ç, dʒ is c; Yakup's ʝ is c, ç is ç; Tenishev's ǰ, ǰ', ʒ, ʒ' are c, Tenishev's c, č, ç, c', č', ç' are ç; Kakuk's dž is c, č is ç. Also {{R:slr:Lianyun}} has /dʒ/, /dʐ/ and /tʃ/, /tʂ/. Use these studies for the difference between c and ç. BurakD53 (talk) 10:58, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
