[edit]Classification
[edit]Andrew Hsiu (2015)[1] proposes the following tentative classification scheme for the Angkuic languages.
- Angkuic
- Eastern (Va)
- Northern (U)
- Southern (?)
- Man Met
- Hu
- Muak Sa-aak
- Angku (?)
- Dagun (?)
Hsiu (2015) suggests that the Angkuic languages originated in the Mekong River valley in the Sipsongpanna area, and subsequently dispersed upstream into western and central Yunnan.
Lexical innovations
[edit]Hsiu (2015)[1] lists the following lexical innovations in each Angkuic branch. Proto-Palaungic reconstructions are from Sidwell (2015).
| 'to eat' | 'three' | 'tooth' | 'knife' | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Proto-Northern Angkuic | *naʔ | *ʔuaj | *hraŋ[2] | *sak |
| Proto-Eastern Angkuic | *pra | *kuej | *xaŋ | *jət |
| Proto-Southern Angkuic | *kʰaːj | *-ɔj | *kʰɛŋ | *wac |
| Proto-Palaungic | - | *ləʔɔːj | *sraːŋ | *ʋaːc; *ʋiɛk |
