West Yalan, Jaran is an ethnolect spoken in southern Tuysáfa around 0 YP. Together with the East Yalan it forms the Yalan language family / dialect continuum.
Background
The term covers a group of dialects spoken in southern and southeastern Tuysáfa coast. It is also a descendant of the Old Yalan dialects spoken around -800 YP.
West Yalan is a part of the T1 language family created for the Second Reconstruction Relay, together with i.a. Cednìtıt, Tumetıęk, Hkətl’ohnim and Omari.

Early West Yalan
Early West Yalan was an earlier variety of Jaran spoken around -200 YP. The most notable feature of EWY was its eight vowel system that later collapsed to vowel inventories of five-six phonemes of later dialects spoken in 0 YP.
There have also been additional voiced series of stops (/b d dz dʑ ɡ/) and fricatives (/v z ʑ ɦ/) that merged with their unvoiced counterparts soon after, most probably under Cednìtıt influence.
Varieties
There are three main varieties of Jaran:
Estuary Jaran
Estuary Jaran, sâ Jarenah Fosotih, is the standard language described in this article.
/r/ is usually pronounced as [ɾ].
/a/ is realized as [æ].
River Jaran
River Jaran, sâ Jarenah Âkasetih, RJ so Jeranah Okeseteh, differs slightly from the standard:
- /a ɒ/ are raised to [e o] in open and merged to [a] in closed syllables;
- /i u/ are lowered to [e o] in closed syllables;
- some instances of the original /e o/ remain [e o] (ê ô in the scientific orthography);
- other occurrences are merged to [a] (e o in the scientific orthography);
- instead of morphological reduction of vowels, RJ has lowering of i u e o to e o a a;
- in some areas there is a pitch stress on the final open syllables (the high pitch unmarked, the low pitch marked with a grave accent in the scientific orthography).
Coast Jaran
Coast Jaran, sâ Jarenah Pamâkotih, CJ so Jarenah Pamokotih, has some differences as well:
- /ɒ/ is raised to [o];
- some instances of the original /o/ are further merged to [u] (ô in the scientific orthography);
- /r/ is pronounced as [l] syllable-finally and [ɾ] otherwise.
Rapid speech
There are some tendencies present in the rapid speech, in all of the above varieties.
Vowel sequences are often realized as pre- or post-glided vowels, e.g. moać [mwatɕ], aetuk [ajˈtuk], ie [je].
Unstressed non-initial syllables beginning with a sonorant have the vowel elided, e.g. nârârena becoming rapid CJ [noɾolˈna] or even [nolːˈna].
Phonology
Consonants | labial | alveolar | palatal | velar | glottal | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
nasal | m | n | ɲ ‹ń› | |||
plosive | fortis | pʰ ‹ph› | tʰ ‹th› | kʰ ‹kh› | ||
lenis | p | t | k | |||
affricate | fortis | tsʰ ‹ch› | tɕʰ ‹ćh› | |||
lenis | ts ‹c› | tɕ ‹ć› | ||||
fricative | f | s | ɕ ‹ś› | h | ||
fluid | r | j |
The fricatives and lenis stops can be voiced between vowels.
Vowels | front | back |
---|---|---|
close | i | u |
mid | e | o |
open | a | ɒ ‹â› |
The front-back dichotomy has influence on inflection, e.g. noun stems expanded with e or o depending on the last vowel.
Syllables of type (C)V(C). Final consonant permitted only word-finally.
Word stress falls on the last syllable, e.g. śatite [ɕatiˈte] "flour".
Morphophonology
There are two common alternations: reduction and fronting.
Reduction
When a vowel is reduced, it changes to a mid vowel:
Non-reduced | i | a | u | â |
---|---|---|---|---|
Reduced | ê | e | ô | o |
Fronting
Fronting is a shift of velar to palatal and palatal to dental consonants. The two degrees can combine:
Grade 0 | k | kh | h |
---|---|---|---|
Grade +1 | ć | ćh | ś |
Grade +2 | c | ch | s |
Assibilation
Assibilation (or lenition) is present only in some suffixes and sometimes doesn't happen regularly.
Normal | p ph | t th | c ch | ć ćh | k kh |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Mutated | h | s | s | ś | h |
Pronouns
The personal pronouns are as follows:
1sg | 2sg | 3sg | 1pl | 2pl | 3pl | |||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
N. | nica | fica | i | itu | taca | cica | ni | netu |
O. | nicań | ficań | i ie ¹ |
itu itou ¹ |
tacań | cicań | ni | netu netou ¹ |
G. | nicaś | ficaś | ih | ituh | tacaś | cicaś | nih | netuh |
L. | nicatu | ficatu | itu | itutu | tacatu | cicatu | nitu | netutu |
- ¹) used mostly for disambiguation
There are also shortened form of 1st and 2nd person pronouns, with -ca- omitted (i.e. ni, niń, niś …, fi, ta &c) in use. They are considered inferior, though.
Itu and netu are the obviative forms, used when not referring to the subject of the previous sentence:
- Pâhokuthu śâphehi tesata. Pâtuk nica i.
- pâ-hokuthu śâphehi tesat-a. pâ-tuk nica i
- sg.an.obj.aor-see lion seagull-obl. sg.an.obj.aor-hunt 1sg 3sg
- The lion saw the seagull. I hunted it (the lion).
- Pâhokuthu śâphehi tesata. Pâtuk nica itu.
- pâ-hokuthu śâphehi tesat-a. pâ-tuk nica itu
- sg.an.obj.aor-see lion seagull-obl. sg.an.obj.aor-hunt 1sg 3sg.obv
- The lion saw the seagull. I hunted it (the seagull).

Prefixes
Possessive
- C – before consonant
- E – before front vowel
- O – before back vowel
|
|
|
|
- ¹) prefix replacing the original vowel
Number
- P – before plosives and affricates
- C – before other consonants
- E – before front vowel
- O – before back vowel
|

- ¹) prefix replacing the original vowel
- ²) aspiration of the consonant
Declension
West Yalan has four cases:
- Nominative, the default form;
- Oblique (Accusative-Dative), objects of present tense verbs;
- Genitive, possessions and relations; used with most prepositions;
- Locative (Locative-Allative), location, time or movement towards an object;
In some dialects the -tu locative suffix can be separated and preposited, e.g.:
- ćifećatu
- ćifić-*atu
- house-loc
- ~
- tu ćifeća
- tu ćifić-*a
- loc house-prep
The noun form having the -tu subtracted is also called prepositive, this is the form to which two other prepositions are added: fań "near" and ja "above".
There are also three declensions: indefinite, proximate and distal.
The words are divided into four inflectional groups:
- I – words ending with a consonant
- II – words ending with e o
- III – words ending with i a u â
- IV – some words ending with i a, inpredictable

Person-tense prefixes
Verb prefixes mark tense, aspect and also animacy and number of the subject and the object.
Where two prefixes are given, the former is used before consonants and the latter before vowels.
When a prefix marked with the asterisk (*) is attached, the first vowel is reduced to e o.
The reflexive prefixes have the consonant alternation between k, ć(h) and c – the consonant is fronted once in singular subject prefixes and then again in imperfect and progressive tense.
Aorist
Aorist is used for complete actions with no present relevance.

Passive | -un ¹, -no ² | monotransitive verbs |
-hun ³ | ditransitive verbs | |
Causative | -ka ³ | intransitive verbs |
-ih ¹, -h ² | transitive verbs |

Adjectives
Adjectives, numerals and verbs acting as participles behave in their own way.
-1 | 0 | +1 | +2 | +3 |
---|---|---|---|---|
attributive | root | mood | voice | comparison |
When they describe another noun, they take the attributive prefix he-, h-.
Relative clauses are created the same way.
- ćhifić heśâ
- ć‹h›ifić he-śâ
- ‹sg.an›house att-small
- the small house
- śâphehi hetuk
- śâphehi he-tuk
- lion att-hunt
- the hunting lion / the lion, which hunts
-1 | 0 | +1 | +2 | +3 | +4 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
person, tense, aspect | root | mood | voice | comparison | case |
When they are substantivized – used alone as independent arguments, they take verbal prefixes and use their own declension type.
- aśâ
- a-śâ
- sg.in-small
- the small thing
- motuk
- mo-tuk
- sg.an-hunt
- the hunting one
Comparison
There is one degree used for comparison. It is created with the suffix -tetumi (-tetume- when declined).
After consonants, the last vowel of the stem is reduced and added as the echo vowel.
- aśâtetumi
- a-śâ-tetumi
- sg.in-small-comp
- the smaller / smallest thing
- śâphehi hetokotetumi
- śâphehi he-tuk-tetumi
- lion att-hunt-comp
- the lion, which hunts more / the most
The standard argument behaves as the object:
- uśâtetumi ćhifeća
- u-śâ-tetumi ć‹h›ifić-*a
- sg.in.sg.o-small-comp ‹sg.in›-house-obl
- smaller than house
Case endings
N. | thar "red" | śâ "small" |

9. | âra | 19. | âraneta | 90. | ârena |
10. | aneta | 100. | anetena |

The changed forms from 11-19 can be also prefixed to other numerals, e.g.
- netokheńaća
- ne-tokhe-ńaća
- pl-four-twenty
- twenty-four
Full n-ties (10-90) behave similarly, up to 199:
- nârârenanetena
- n-âr-âren-anetena
- pl-nine-ninety-hundred
- one hundred and ninety-nine
Higher numbers are done analytically, with a conjunction śi:
- nanetena hârârena śi nârârena
- n-anetena h-âr-ârena śi n-âr-ârena
- pl-houndred att-nine-ninety and pl-nine-ninety
- nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine (lit. ninety-nine houndred ninety-nine)
