Talk:Yaghnobi language

Untitled

Actually, Yaghnobi is not considered a direct descendant of the Sogdian language from which we have many texts. It is probably the descendant of a minor dialect of Sogdian.

Comment: Are we talking about literary Sogdian or spoken Sogdian? For sure Yagnobi is not a direct descendant of literary Sogdian, since literary Sogdian is out of use for a pretty long time now. Vassili Nikolaev 01:06, 24 Dec 2004 (UTC)

I think that Yaghnobi is a descendant of a common dialect of proto-Sogdian, that we can only reconstruct. It seams, that Sogdian (in it's three literal dialect) has some features different from the same features in Yaghnobi - f.ex. development of iranian groups *θr and *δr into /š/ and /ž/ in Sogdian against /tir ~ sar/ and /dir ~ dar/ in Yaghnobi, or another example can be seen in the development of groups NC - iranian *mp, *mb; *nk, *ng; *nt, *nd are rendered as /mb/, /ng/ and /nd/ in Sogdian, on the other hand we have /mp/, /nk/ and /nt/ in Yaghnobi... also it seams that there was a bit different development of vocals in both languages... the family tree of this language group can be drawn like this:

                         Yaghnobi
                             |
                             |
       Sogdian               |
          |                  |
          |_______ __________|
                  |
             *"proto-Sogdian"

Is the spelling "" (pronounced like "") worth its mention in the article? Maybe it should be removed? --AVRS (talk) 09:44, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

"Xromov" should probably be "Hromov"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.150.65.7 (talk) 19:51, 13 November 2010 (UTC)
