Oikan language: Difference between revisions

Line 134:

All dialects of Oikan have a distinction between the ''kelhre'' register (''kelhria'') and the ''glede'' register (''gledia''). ''Kelhria'' is careful, enunciated speech. ''Gledia'' is natural, “lazy” speech. Certain allophonic processes only occur in ''gledia''.

This distinction arose ca. the 1850s, when certain sound changes involving allophony happened, but society begin to see them as inherently informal, so they affected speech without them when speaking formally/carefully. More-or-less, ~~the~~ ''~~glede~~'' ~~register~~ has the natural evolution of Oikan allophony, whereas ~~the~~ ''~~kelhre~~'' ~~register~~ is an affectation designed to imitate the Oikan allophony of the early ~~19th~~ century.
