Various languages in different parts of the world have undergone a conditioned change s > h. But : (a) are there languages where there has been a general, unconditioned change s > h ? (b) are there languages where z (as voiced counterpart of s) has changed to voiced h or any similar sound, and under what conditions ? (c) among the languages in (b), is voiceless s maintained or is it changed to h ? Thank you all for any help. - Rémy Viredaz 1, rue Chandieu CH - 1202 Genève Suisse |
