Proto-Japonic cognate set sheet

[Ryan Tran (Chuterix)]

Hi PMJS,

I have created a work in progress website dedicated to a reconstructed dictionary of Proto-Japonic. The site is available here at https://sites.google.com/view/jcdic.

I have also created an open cognate set and Proto-Japonic reconstruction database in a spreadsheet. This is still very work in progress. Please give feedback.

A few questions:

• What modern Japanese dialects preserve Proto-Japonic *e and *o reliably?
• What language is Proto-Japonic most likely related to (whether borrowed, a contact relationship, or genetically related)? I've analyzed Proto-Austronesian vocabulary with Proto-Japonic and most of the similar words are rice farming; the link can be accessed here at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ji1k9gHyCuwz92WveKl9bxsR4Smshs7mGZE6UwjBF4U/edit?usp=sharing
  

Thanks,

Ryan

Hi Ryan,

Are you familiar with Lee and Hasegawa’s 2011 paper on the phylogeny of the Japonic languages? In their supplementary materials, they provide a large collection of Japonic cognate sets: https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/suppl/10.1098/rspb.2011.0518.

This might help you to rapidly populate your database.

Best wishes,

Siva
