    Micronesians are not Lima gang but it’s related. Our languages have Melanesian influence. That’s why it’s different from other Austronesians. The number 5 in Micronesian languages:
    Lalem (Marshallese)
    Nimu (Chuukese)
    Limou (Fanapii)
    Limahu (Pohnpeian)
    Limekosr (Kosraean)
    Lal (Yapese)
    Eim (Palauan)
    Nimaua (I-Kiribati)
    Aijimo (Nauruan)

    Transcriptions of this have really complicated vowel clusters, but hearing the languages makes me think it was an overanalysis.

    • @SquigPie
      @SquigPie 4 ปีที่แล้ว +17

      Marshallese is weird.
      The difference between the phonemic (structural, abstract) level and the phonetic (how it actually sounds) is completely different. On a phonemic level the language has a tone of consonants and extremely few vowels, but on a phonetic level the language has a ludicrous number of vowels.
      So you have the Marshallese word for future, spelled: "naaj"
      On the phonemic, abstract level this is is /nʲaɰatʲ/, so Three consonants and two vowels.
      On a phonetic level, as in how it's actually pronounced, this is: [nʲæ͡ɑɑ͡ætʲ]
      So you have a short "a" in the front of you mouth that fades into a long "a" in the back of the mouth before ending in a short front "a" again.
      The Orthography is the result of someone trying their damnest to merge these two layers into something that's actually writeable with the latin script. Can't comment on how good a job they did, though.

    @user-hnjga8is1zr6u 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Because of its phonology, their pronunciation of b, d, j (sounds like "ty"?) somehow has a stress similar to Javanese-Madurese "məɖ̥ʰɔʔ" ("voiceless voiced plosives-affricates").

      "Lima" is in words like "Lemañoul" (50) and "Limabuki" (500), so the root is still there.
