Some remarkable features of Regariik (Northern Burun, Western Nilotic)

Research output: Contribution to book/anthology/report/conference proceedingArticle in proceedingResearchpeer-review

Abstract

Regariik is in some respects remarkably different from other languages in the Burun branch of Western Nilotic. In monosyllabic content words there is no surface contrast between short and long vowels. Tones are the opposite of those of other Northern Burun languages. A category of gender exists in the pronominal systems. And postverbal subjects are morphologically marked by tone alternation.
