Darkhad (also "Darkhat") is a dialect in-between Central Mongolian and Oirat〔Sanjaa and Tuyaa 2001: 33-34〕 still variously seen as closer to Oirat〔as Tuyaa and Tuul 2008: 5 can be understood〕 or as a dialect of Khalkha Mongolian with some Oirat features.〔e.g. Svantesson et al. 2005: 142.〕 However, it seems to have substantially assimilated to the Khalkha dialect since it first was described by Sanžeev,〔Gáspár 2006: 25 based on own field research and Sanžeev 1931〕 and some classificational differences seem to be due to what historical (or even ideal) state got classified. A population of 20,000 was reported in 2000. Speakers live mainly in the west of Lake Khövsgöl in the sums Bayanzürkh, Ulaan-Uul and Rinchinlkhümbe in the Khövsgöl Province of Mongolia.〔Sanžaa and Tujaa 2001: 33〕 ==Phonetics and phonology== In contrast to Oirat, it has and and a diphthongized equivalent of *ai.〔Rinchen 1979: 176-177, 179, 197, 202, phoneme analysis according to Svantesson et al. 2005.〕 However, monophthongized reflexes of *ai can be encountered and more so in older language material, so it can be assumed that due to Khalkha influence.〔Gáspár 2006: 16-17, 19〕 Somewhat similar developments can be observed for other vowels,〔Gáspár 2006: 13-20〕 but as at least and can get palatalized,〔Gáspár 2006: 22-23〕 it is problematic whether palatalized consonants or fronted vowels have to be considered as phonemes.〔Non-initial *i has disappeared from the phonemic representation (Gáspár 2006: 11), but as Gáspár doesn't ask the question.〕 It patterns with the Oirat dialects of the Mongolian state in that it retains *ŋn 〔Rinchen 1979: 231-234; instead of , an underlined "n" is used which is cryptically explained as a "nasalized n", but is used on 185 and 189 to mark the well-known word-final in such words as ⟨šaltgaan⟩ () and ⟨hövüün⟩ (; cp. Svantesson et al. 2005: 18)〕 and sometimes has *b > .〔Rinchen 1979: 222-223, for a counterexample see 225〕 It doesn't have the Khalkh and in non-first syllables, as these merged with and .〔Sanžaa and Tujaa 2001〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Darkhad dialect」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
