Trans-Himalayan Mandarin, Cantonese, Hakka, Xiâng, Hokkien, Teochew, Pínghuà, Gàn, Jìn, Wú and a number of other languages and dialects together comprise the Sinitic branch of the Trans-Himalayan language family. These languages all collectively descend from a prehistorical Sinitic language, the earliest reconstructible form of which was called Archaic Chinese by Bernard Karlgren and is currently referred to in the anglophone literature as Old Chinese. Today, Sinitic linguistic diversity is under threat by the advance of Mandarin as a standard language throughout China because Mandarin is gradually taking over domains of language use that were originally conducted primarily in the local Sinitic languages.

This review article attempts to describe processes that are underlying this severe threat to the majority of the languages currently spoken. However, the central focus of discussion will be on aspects related to the documentation and maintenance of the world’s linguistic diversity. The main causes of language endangerment are presented here in a brief overview of the world’s language situation.

  • On the Specific Features of Orok As Compared with the Other Tungusic Languages
    ON THE SPECIFIC FEATURES OF OROK AS COMPARED WITH THE OTHER TUNGUSIC LANGUAGES Alexandr Pevnov Institute for Linguistic Studies, Russian Academy of Sciences, St Petersburg This paper is an attempt at a selective contrastive description of the Orok (Uilta, Ul’ta) language in comparison with the other Tungusic languages. The emphasis will be on certain specific features of Orok in the realms of phonology (including historical phonology), morphophonology, verbal morphology, as well as lexicon (including lexical borrowings). The survey will in particular cover those features that distinguish Orok from the other Tungusic languages, or, at least, from most of them. In many of these cases we are dealing with areal parallels and substratal phenomena, which Orok shares with the other, non-Tungusic languages of the region. Статья является опытом избирательного контрастивного описания орокского (уильтинского) языка в сравнении с другими тунгусо- маньчжурскими языками. В статье рассматриваются особенности орокского языка в области фонетики (в том числе исторической), морфонологии, глагольной морфологии, а также лексики (включая заимствованную лексику). Это те особенности, которые отличают орокский от всех или большей части тунгусо-маньчжурских языков. Во многих случаях мы имеем дело с ареальными параллелями и субстратными явлениями, которые сближают орокский язык с другими, нетунгусскими языками региона. 1. INTRODUCTION The Orok (Uilta, Ul’ta) are an extremely tiny ethnic group living on Sakhalin. The linguistic ancestors of the Orok seem to have appeared on Sakhalin after the Nivkh, but before the Ewenki. The Orok are the only indigenous group on Sakhalin whose territory does not extend beyond the island. The absence of Orok on the continent suggests that their formation as an ethnic group took place on Sakhalin.1 The traditional economy of the Orok is based on reindeer husbandry, supple- mented by fishing and hunting, including hunting of marine mammals.

  • Causative/Inchoative Verb Alternation in Altaic Languages: Turkish, Turkmen, Nanai and Mongolian
    International Journal of English Linguistics; Vol. 10, No. 5; 2020 ISSN 1923-869X E-ISSN 1923-8703 Published by Canadian Center of Science and Education Causative/Inchoative Verb Alternation in Altaic Languages: Turkish, Turkmen, Nanai and Mongolian Wenchao Li1 1 Department of Japanese Studies, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China Correspondence: Wenchao Li, Department of Japanese Studies, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China. E-mail: [email protected] Received: July 30, 2020 Accepted: September 25, 2020 Online Published: September 29, 2020 doi:10.5539/ijel.v10n5p399 URL: https://doi.org/10.5539/ijel.v10n5p399 Abstract The purpose of the study is two-fold. First, a statistical analysis of the morphology of causative/inchoative verb alternation is carried out in Japanese and in 13 Altaic languages, i.e., Turkish, Turkmen, Nanai, Khakas, Udihe, Uzbek, Sakha, Manchu, Kyrgyz, Mongolian, Kazakh, Ewen, and Azerbaijani. The findings reveal that causative/inchoative verb alternation (a) can be realised via the insertion of an infix (‘-uul-’, ‘-e-’, ‘-g-’, etc.); (b) can be inchoative root-based, with transitive verbs derived via attaching a suffix to the inchoative verb roots (‘-dur-’, ‘-t-’, ‘-ir-’, ‘-dyr-’, ‘-wəən-’, ‘-buwəən-’, ‘-r-’, ‘-wənə-’, ‘-nar-’, ‘-ier-’, ‘-er-’, ‘-bu-’, ‘-ʊkan-’); (c) can be causative verb-based, with inchoative verbs being derived via attaching a suffix to the causative verb roots (‘-p-’, ‘-n-’, ‘-ul-’, ‘-il-’); and (d) can be realised via consonant alternation (‘-r-’ (transitive) / ‘-n-’ (intransitive); ‘-t-’ (transitive) / ‘-n-’ (intransitive)). This study further attempts to pin down the affiliation of these languages with the Japanese language. It compares the morphological findings with Japanese bound morphemes in causative/inchoative verb alternation and then delves into the phonological issues, i.e., consonant alternation and vowel harmony.

  • Proof of the Algonquian-Wakashan Relationship
    Sergei L. Nikolaev Institute of Slavic studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Moscow/Novosibirsk); [email protected] Toward the reconstruction of Proto-Algonquian-Wakashan. Part 1: Proof of the Algonquian-Wakashan relationship The first part of the present study, following a general introduction (§ 1), presents a classifi- cation and approximate glottochronological dating for the Algonquian-Wakashan languages (§ 2), a preliminary discussion of regular sound correspondences between Proto-Wakashan, Proto-Nivkh, and Proto-Algic (§ 3), and an analysis of the Algonquian-Wakashan “basic lexi- con” (§ 4). The main novelty of the present article is in its attempt at formal demonstration of a genetic relationship between the Nivkh, Algic, and Wakashan languages, arrived at by means of the standard comparative method, i. e. establishing a system of regular sound cor- respondences between the vocabularies of the compared languages. Proto-Salishan is con- sidered as a remote relative of Proto-Algonquian-Wakashan; at the same time, no close (“Mosan”) relationship between Wakashan and Salish has been traced. Additionally, lexical correspondences between Proto-Chukchi-Kamchatkan, Proto-Algonquian-Wakashan, and Proto-Salishan are also reviewed. The conclusion is that no genetic relationship exists be- tween Chukchi-Kamchatkan, on the one hand, and Algonquian-Wakashan, languages (Nivkh included), on the other hand. Instead, it seems more likely that Proto-Chukchi-Kamchatkan has borrowed words from Wakashan, Salishan, and Algic (but probably not vice versa; § 5). The Algonquian-Wakashan, Salishan and Chukchi-Kamchatkan common cultural lexicon is also examined, resulting in the identification of numerous “cultural” loans from Wakashan and Salish into Proto-Chukchi-Kamchatkan. Borrowing from Salishan into Proto-Nivkh was far less intensive, as there are no reliable Nivkh-Wakashan contact words.

The label ‘Transeurasian’ was coined by Johanson and Robbeets (2010: 1–2) with reference to a large group of geographically adjacent languages, traditionally known as ‘Altaic’, that share a significant number of linguistic properties and include up to five different linguistic families: Japonic, Koreanic, Tungusic, Mongolic and Turkic. The question whether all similarities between the Transeurasian languages should be accounted for by language contact or whether some are the residue of a common ancestor is one of the most debated issues of historical compara- tive linguistics (see Robbeets 2005 for an overview of the debate). Since the term ‘linguistic area’ implies that the shared properties are the result of borrowing, I will refrain from aprioriattaching it to the Transeurasian region and rely on the concept of ‘areality’ instead, that is, the geographical concentration of linguistic features, independent of how these features developed historically.

Audio materials of Endangered Languages in North-East Eurasia In North-East Eurasia, many languages of indigenous peoples are in serious danger from so-called language shifts to dominant languages: Russian, Chinese and Japanese. Conservation and documentation activities of the Ainu language in Japan may provide some kind of model case for the other endangered languages in this area. In this short paper, I would like to discuss archiving phonetic recordings of the Nivkh language. Ethnologists began to record the languages of some Northern peoples in the nineteenth century. Most of these recordings (both written materials and phonetic recordings) were of oral literature. One reason for this was that researchers regarded “myths” or “mythic stories” as a kind of “history” of “non-literate peoples”. Ethnologists tried to find out some traces of Northern peoples’ past in their mythical stories1. Another reason was that it was difficult to write down natural conversations, as the researchers’ proficiency in northern indigenous languages was insufficient. Although phonetic recording technology was invented at the end of the nineteenth century, the duration of recording time was quite limited.
