Fraze

Fraze is a Rajo-Faraneih language spoken in various sections of the Measceineafh. Although relatively secure as a language, it is somewhat threatened by its relative, Rajat, which is more economically powerful, as a local lingua franca.

Changes from Central Measceineafh

• f v x > DELETE
• ɖ > ʈ
• θ > f ([v] where intervocular)
• f# v# s# z# > DELETE
• iæ iɑ ie io iu > e e i ø y > e e i e i
• æ ɑ > a
• e [-stress|+closed syllable] > E > ə > a
• ʃ + i,e + V > ʃV ([ʒ] where intervocular)
• Stress regularizes to intial where there are three or fewer syllables; penultimate where there are more.
• Fusion of fi (genitive), di (instrumental), and ni (dative) to beginning of nouns produces further cases and pushes stress back to second syllable, when it then regularizes again to penultimate in all nouns.
