Towards a phonological typology of Uralic languages

Abstract: The paper focuses on phonological similarities between Uralic languages. The study is based on a dataset which includes 33 word-prosodic and segmental features of 28 Uralic languages or main dialects, including all traditional subgroups of the language family. In statistical analysis clustering and dimension reduction techniques such as multidimensional scaling are applied. This methodology enables to explore distinctive subgroups of languages as well as calculate distances between languages and language group… Show more

“…Thus, both the admixture analyses and principal component analyses hint at typological similarities between Ob-Ugric and Samoyedic languages -this could also be seen as some common linguistic structure occurring with the eastern-most Uralic languages. The division into western and eastern languages was also found in phonological study by Pajusalu et al (2018). In this data, the clearest east-west division is seen in the All_UraTyp plot, where it is likely to stem from All_UT data and further from Phonology_UT data, which is ultimately based on the data in Pajusalu et al (2018).…”

Nevertheless, while the GB data does not find clear subgroups, it is more in line with the broader understanding of western Uralic (Grünthal 2019;Ylikoski 2016).…”
