Exercise - Quechuan

Quechuan is a family of several languages spoken in the Andes region of South America, with varieties found in Columbia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia and Argentina.

Compare the cognates from the languages listed here. Set up the correspond- ence sets; reconstruct the sounds of Proto-Quechuan; find and list the sound changes which took place in each language (variety); determine what the relative chronology may have been in any cases where more than one change took place in an individual language (variety), if there is evidence which shows this. What do you think the inventory of Proto-Quechuan sounds was? (Note that there is some controversy about the historical status of glottalized consonants (p', t', c?', k', q') and aspirated consonants (ph, th, c?h, kh, qh) in Quechuan. For the purposes of this exercise do not try to reconstruct them, but rather treat those few which occur (in the Cuzco variety) as though they were equal to the plain counterparts.) (NOTE: [?. ]= uvular nasal; y = IPA [j]; ly = IPA [lj]; ny = IPA [nj].
