Ran's musings while working through Chapter 1 of Greek: An Intensive Course and memorizing the first and second declensions
Ancient Greek phonology is actually surprising similar to Japanese. The vowel system, the long and short vowels, the pitch accent, all seems rather reminiscent of Japanese. Of course, the phonotactics aren't Japanese at all.
In any case, given the following claims made by Wikipedia about the Classical Period:
- All the plosives are still intact, including the aspirated ones
- The spiritus asper is pronounced, etc.
- The various vowels and vowel digraphs actually reflect real phonemic differences
- etc.
This is what I would propose:
(Vowels)
a | あ | aa | ああ | ai | あい | au | あう | aai | ああい | ||
e | え | ee | ええ | ei | えい | eu | えう | eei | ええい | eeu | ええう |
i | い | ii | いい | ||||||||
o | お | oo | おお | oi | おい | ou | おう | ooi | おおい | ||
u | う | uu | うう | ui | うい |
(Consonants)
p | ぱ | b | ば | ph | ぱは | ||
t | た | d | だ | th | たは | ||
k | か | g | が | kh | かは | ||
m | ま | n | な | n /_C | ん? | ||
r | ら | l | ら? | s | さ | h | は |
(Test - as can be seen, consonant clusters aren't being handled very well)
