The Mordvinic languages, alternatively Mordvin languages,〔(Mordvin languages @ google books )〕 or Mordvinian languages ((ロシア語:Мордовские языки), ''Mordovskiye yazyki'', the official Russian term for the language pair), are a subgroup of the Uralic languages, comprising the closely related Erzya language and Moksha language. Previously considered a single "Mordvin language", it is now treated as a small language family. Due to differences in phonology, lexicon, and grammar, Erzya and Moksha are not mutually intelligible, to the extent that the Russian language is often used for intergroup communications. The two Mordvinic languages also have separate literary forms. The Erzya literary language was created in 1922 and the Mokshan in 1923. Phonological differences between the two languages include:〔 * Moksha retains a distinction between the vowels while in Erzya, both have merged as . * In unstressed syllables, Erzya features vowel harmony like many other Uralic languages, using in front-vocalic words and in back-vocalic words. Moksha has a simple schwa in their place. * Word-initially, Erzya has a postalveolar affricate corresponding to a fricative in Moksha. * Next to voiceless consonants, liquids and the semivowel are devoiced in Moksha to . The medieval Meshcherian language may have been Mordvinic, or close to Mordvinic. ==References== 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「Mordvinic languages」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
