This paper is a field report on the phonological system of Butanglu, a hitherto unstudied dialect of the Paiwan language in Formosa. It is a special dialect in preseserving, for example, a voiced velar fricative which, according to Dahl (1973:86-96), may be a reflex of PAN* , rather than a tongue tip trill r as found in the other dialects of Paiwan. The contrasts between t and c, and between d and J are preserved in Butanglu, yet merged in the other dialects. It is also observed that while the other dialects of Paiwan have only four voiceless stops, either /p, t, k, ? /, or /p, t, k, q/, Butanglu has one extra stop which may be explained as borrowing or the result of secondary development. Thus this dialect has five stops /p, t, k, q, ? /. |
