| Description | A journal article and supplementary appendix on the Chatino language of Santo Domingo Teojomulco as transcribed by Francisco Belmar in 1902. The article is also available at the publisher's website (http://www.journals.uchicago.edu/toc/ijal/2016/82/4). This resource also includes the data of the appendix in a less formatted text file. Abstract: Belmar (1902) contains a word list of Teojomulco Chatino forms which is the only extant data from this language. I show that Teojomulco Chatino is the most divergent Chatino language, a sister to the most recent reconstructions of Proto-Chatino (Campbell 2013), and that it has traits not found elsewhere in Chatino, including Zapotec-like stem-initial prominence, nasalization of penultimate vowels, and a unique analogue of the Proto-Zapotecan *kwe= proclitic. Lexical evidence suggests that Teojomulco Chatino has undergone significant contact with Zapotec languages. Based on this data, I propose a revised picture of the historical development of the Chatino branch of the Zapotecan languages. |
