The phonological process of merger in Mongsen-Ao

What is it about?

In this study, I discuss the phonological process of merger in ten varieties of Mongsen-Ao, a lesser-known Tibeto-Burman language spoken in Nagaland, India. Based on the comparison of fricatives and affricates in the ten selected varieties, I show that the merger of /s/ and /ʃ/ as observed by Bruhn (2014) and merger of affricates /ts/ and /tʃ/ as proposed by Coupe (2003, 2007), did not take place in all varieties of Mongsen-Ao. The study also sheds light on some of the phonological variations and changes across varieties.
