Sourcing[edit]

The sourcing of this stub is abominable. A dead link to an unpublished conference paper summary, and a tinypic(!) link to some map with no source declaration whatsoever. Seriously? This from a Wikipedian who has been around since 2006? For shame.

Fortunately, there now seems to be a real academic publication available on the topic (ToC link): Anonby, Erik & Hassan Mohebbi Bahmani (2016), "Shipwrecked and landlocked: Kholosi, an Indo-Aryan language of south-west Iran", Cahier de Studia Iranica 58: 13–36.

NadirAli: before you continue fighting and edit-warring over links to this (currently worthless) stub elsewhere on the project: get this publication, read it, understand it, and then turn this article into something worth reading; then (and only then) we can start talking. Shame on you for not doing that before. Fut.Perf. ☼ 20:19, 20 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Aspirates etc.[edit]

We currently have a table "Lack of contrastive aspiration on stops in Kholosi". But Anonby and Mohebbi Bahmani cite the form hātʰ for 'hand'. And in [1] are sections for initial /pʰ tʰ tʃʰ/ (although there 'hand' appears without final aspirate).

The latter link is informative on other aspects of phonology too, though doesn't actually present an analysis, e.g. romanised a : ā is in fact [a] : [ɔ] with no length contrast. 4pq1injbok (talk) 11:42, 6 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
