Alt-Veyata - Overview

Purpose: late common precursor between Proto-Veyatic and the later separate standard lines of Veyrathi and Veytharisch.

##Status

  • Old Veyata is not a modern national language, but a historical Koine.
  • The language belongs to the late pre-state and early Confederate phase of Enari: council speech, trade, supra-regional contacts and cultic formal speech.
  • It is younger and smoother than Ur-Veyatic, but not yet as specialized as the later daughter languages.
  • In terms of language feeling, Old Veyata seems like the last stage in which East and West can still be clearly heard together.

Overall profile

  • Sound: fuller and denser than Veyrathi, but already less heavy than Ur-Veyatic
  • Typology: moderately suffixing with residual relations and partly freer sentence structure
  • Nominal system: direct form, oblique on -i, genitive/possessive clitic =ren
  • Verbal system: basic form on -a, past on -na, future on post-verbal ra
  • Sentence structure: conservative SOV, in the Koine already often SVO
  • Predication: present often without copula, marked forms with fera
  • Pronouns: short forms of speech dominate, longer old forms are retained for ritual, weight and height

Role in the language family

  • From Ur-Veyata, Old Veyata inherits the old root layer, the particle fields and the alternation between long and short forms.
  • Alt-Veyata primarily passes on the more open syllable guidance, =ren, ra, sai, hana, and the tendency towards a clear SVO structure to Veyrathi.
  • Old Veyata passes on the even denser word edges, the relict oblique, the more conservative full forms and the stronger sentence brackets to Veytharisch.
  • Old Veyata is therefore not just a mixed stage, but rather the credible common bridging phase of both later main branches.
