Talk:Nanai language

Voiced/unvoiced or aspirated/unaspirated?

I think An messed up his IPA; he says on p11 "The plosives and fricatives are all unvoiced, and are distinguished by aspiration"; which means, for example, we should see:

• k and kʰ, not g and k
• tʂ and (I think) tʂʰ, not dʐ and tʂ
• et cetera ad nauseum

Anyone have a better idea whether his statement about no voiced consonants is true? cab 13:30, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Quite true in principle. However, the same is basically true of English, and yet one typically uses [g] and [k] when transcribing English in IPA. Perhaps there is a similar situation with Nanai.—Nat Krause^{(Talk!·What have I done?)} 23:12, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Orthography Section

I’m curious about the Cyrillic orthography as given in the article. It seems to be plain Russian, missing at least the letter ӈ as in the word наӈдаку. Looking at the phonology section, I’m guessing there are a few other letters missing here. Does anyone have the complete orthography? languagegeek (talk) 20:07, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

Influence on other languages

The Nanai word "Amba", which means "Siberian Tiger", has made its way into the Russian language and is used sometimes. See also, the Amba River. Esn (talk) 03:01, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
