“…La mayor expansión de la neutralización de género se ha asociado con que este rasgo no esté gramaticalizado en el otomí. Por otro lado, la organización y extensión de la neutralización de número se ha vinculado con la marcación de este rasgo en ñható, que está subordinada a factores como la especificidad y la animacidad (Palancar 2013), como sucede en el español en contacto con otomí (Avelino 2021).…”

“…Lastra (: 872) reports that Otomí and Mazahua show significant grammatical differences but share about 70% of their lexicon and could perhaps be considered a single dialect chain. Palancar () traces shifts and losses of the proto‐Oto‐Pamean dual number in multiple Otomí varieties.…”

Otomanguean historical linguistics: Exploring the subgroups

This is the second of two articles that survey and assess progress and prospects in the historical linguistics of the Otomanguean language family, which is the most widely distributed and most diverse linguistic lineage of Mesoamerica. While considerable progress has been made in understanding the linguistic and cultural history of Otomanguean, in some ways, it remains the Mesoamerican language family about which we know the least. It consists of eight major subgroups: Mè'phàà‐Subtiaba, Chorotegan, Oto‐Pamean, Chinantec, Mixtecan, Amuzgo, Zapotecan, and Popolocan. While the first article of this series addressed the historical linguistics of the higher levels of the Otomanguean family, this article focuses on the eight major subgroups, especially progress in their reconstruction, internal subgrouping, and areas in need of further research.

“…Palancar 2006, Suárez 1983 to be a diasystem of several distinct languages, or a multidimensional dialect continuum (Lastra 2010). Palancar (2013a) identified four main Otomi dialects or varieties, classified as northern, southern, western, and eastern. These relationships are depicted in Figure 1, with SJAO being a southern dialect (Hernández-Green 2015).…”

The phonetics and phonology of lexical prosody in San Jerónimo Acazulco Otomi

San Jerónimo Acazulco Otomi (SJAO) is an underdescribed and endangered Oto-Manguean language spoken in central Mexico. This paper provides an analysis of the phonology of tonal contrasts in SJAO and the phonetics of their realization based on pitch pattern data derived from audio recordings of citation forms of SJAO words. Each SJAO lexical word has one and only one tonal sequence – either /H/ or /HL/. This sequence is underlyingly associated with one syllable in the word. Other syllables are not specified for tone, and their phonetic realization is predictable depending on their position relative to the tonal syllable. A phonetic analysis revealed that underlyingly-tonal syllables are phonetically distinct from non-tonal syllables: those with /H/ are produced with greater vocal effort (measured by spectral tilt), and those with /HL/ are longer, louder, and bear a higher f0 (fundamental frequency), compared with non-tonal syllables. This analysis differs from previous accounts of lexical prosody in other Otomi varieties, which have either described a three-way system of high, low, and rising tones contrasting on every stem syllable, or a system where one syllable per word is assigned a stress-like ‘accent’. This difference from previous analyses suggests that there is a third possible characterization of lexical prosody for Otomi, which is appropriate for SJAO and potentially other understudied varieties.
