| Description | All Chatino languages have two kinds of person inflection strategies for nouns and relational nouns/prepositions/case markers. Alienably-possessed nouns indicate their possessor by following the noun with the possessor, which is preceded by the marker jiʔìn. Inalienably-possessed nouns and a small set of terms indicating spatial relationships (most of which can be shown to derive from inalienably-possessed nouns) indicate their possessor by placing it immediately after the term, or in the case of a first-person singular or second-person singular possessor through a tone and/or vowel ablaut. These files are recordings of many of these words uninflected for possessor, inflected for a second-person singular possessor, and inflected for a first-person singular possessor.
