occasional Dorisms possibly: Attic was not spoken in a particularly large area originally, that's why it was so homogeneous at the beginning, and what did spread was probably originally based on the prestigious Athens dialect of the 5th century BC, not some rural form of Attic. So the problem "why do our reconstructs not have any dialectal variety and are so uniform?" is a non-problem: because they're themselves only dialects in a larger continuum, duh. It may be an artifact of the method, but that doesn't mean it doesn't square with historic reality: spreading languages start out fairly homogeneous, because they're prestigious dialects (even if standard languages don't exist in the prehistoric period, prestigious dialects

When speakers have less contact with each other, their speeches can diverge further. That doesn't stop changes from propagating through the community, but it's no longer guaranteed that changes will always be evened out throughout. That's how dialects probably start off, and this is what led to the first differences in Proto-Finnic. I'm not going to conjecture too much about how speakers were located geographically, but the Inland Finnic speakers must have been slightly separated from the larger community, even if at first the separation was no more than a river or something like that.
1089:, and demote Livonian and South Estonian to closely related outgroups. I think this approach actually has a better degree of backing in the literature. Back in the late 1800s Livonian, Samic and Core Finnic were treated as three equally coordinate branches within "Finnic" (= Finno-Samic; frequently the term "Finnic" was even extended to everything now called Finno-Permic). I've seen authors even in recent times also speak of Finnic arising by the "convergence" of two originally separate branches (though "parallel evolution of closely related dialects" would be more appropriate). 1051:
divergent? The variety within modern English is probably still more than what can be reconstructed for Late Proto-Finnic. Something like kt versus tt or tk versus ck is a very minor thing and would not have hampered intelligibility in the slightest, it would have just given the inland Proto-Finnic speakers a slight accent. Compare for example the Ekavian and Ijekavian dialects of Serbo-Croatian, which are distinguished by the outcome of the Slavic vowel ě (yat), having either e or (i)je. This does not cause any serious problems in understanding for speakers today.
512:. As far as I know, Proto-Uralic roots always ended in a vowel, which was inherently part of the root. So the only way to account for this that I know of is a regular sound change that syncopated the vowel under some circumstances, some time in Pre-Finnic times (presumably). Are there any sources that describe this phenomenon and the conditions in which it applies? It seems to happen only with stem-final -e, but never with -a or any other vowel (I think Uralic roots could only end in -e or -a). 179: 158: 1231:
prefer to include the changes that lead to both standard languages, even though they are missing in the southern branches. Proto-Finnic proper still has its strengths, didactically, and it would be wise to employ both.) This state of affairs would be easier to tolerate if the article showed clearly the differences between Proto-Finnic proper and Proto-North-Central-Finnic, so that the reader can easily derive Proto-Finnic proper from the data given here. --

So it becomes hard to tell from the few remaining bits of information, whether ə was original and then syncopated, or whether ə was not original but added by epenthesis. There are some loanwords where we can be pretty sure they were loaned as consonant stems originally, like *kuningas. But I don't think *mees is a loanword, and because it's monosyllabic there could hardly have been any apocope. So this might be the only remaining true consonantal root noun.
74: 53: 84: 998:*ci did pass thru a stage *ći, and that this changed to *ci only during the general Finnic loss of palatalization. The fact that *-δ´i also develops to *-ci does turn out to then require two series of depalatalization, but the merger of *δ´ and *δ is found also in Samic and Mordvinic, and has been considered by various researchers a pre-Finnic change that had nothing to do with the shifts *ś : --> 189: 233: 22: 272: 571:. So why was it dropped? Is there a regular sound change that accounts for this? I suppose there's also the more general question of the distinction between vowel stems and consonant stems in Uralic. Roots should have all been vowel stems, but what about derived stems? Were there true consonant stems in Uralic? 1050:
Maybe the "later developments" section should be named "dialectal developments"? This is really quite a common problem, and it's something that even modern languages have to deal with. For example, how do you describe a single "English" language when there are really several dialects that are rather

are usually recognized as distinct entities. But here the convention in the source literature remains to usually work with Late Proto-Finnic forms, common only to Gulf Finnic (as this is a much more prominent branch than South Estonian or Livonian). This is what our current phonology section does as
733:
From what I can see, regardless of whether consonant stems were different from ə-stems at an early time, they had a strong tendency to be merged right from the start. The epenthetic -e- in Finnic is one way that could have happened, and as you say perhaps Proto-Uralic also knew such an epenthetic ə.
587:
at all. (My best guess? There does not seem to have been any distinction between zero and an unstressed non-close vowel in PU. The situation may have been something like in contemporary Mansi and Khanty, with an epenthetic vowel * inserted in various places to resolve awkward phonotactic structures.)
1092:
Now here is a further problem: the amount of explicit sources on Middle Proto-Finnic is just about nil — even "Early Proto-Finnic" i.e. Proto-Finno-Samic has better coverage — while Late Proto-Finnic is fairly well-described. So to not OR ourselves in the foot, for now I would favor the strategy of
586:
Consonant stems in Proto-Uralic are pretty much an open question. I don't think any general analysis has been made yet, only observations on the "existence of tendencies" to drop a non-close stem vowel from inflected forms — which turns up widely in those Uralic languages that do retain such vowels

On the other hand, the difference between β and b is much more easy to recognise, because b only occurs after a nasal, just like in Proto-Germanic. The difference between p and b on the other hand, while still predictable, takes a lot more work for the reader to decypher because they have to figure

Do we still need the obsolete periodizations from 1960s to 1980s in the article? A new scholarly consensus regarding a more shallow timeframe emerged in the 2010s, the most recent work in this area I know being Schalin, 2019 who uses different nomenclature (Coastal Finnic for the Late Proto-Finnic

But no language has no diversity whatsoever. Every speaker has their own way of speaking, which is always going to be slightly different from how others speak. However, in small communities, the language of each speaker influences that of the others, so that keeps them from drifting too far apart.

in PGmc compared to their voiceless counterparts. The cover symbol */b/ is thus used to cover two allophones *, *. The analogous level in PF would be the cover symbol */p/ to cover three allophones *, *, *. I don't see why we would need to add a third, imtermediate level of transcription to cover
1323:
Right now the article is a bit vague on what happens with these sounds, but the changes are an important characteristic of Finnic, as they are what led to the creation of monosyllabic stems. So I would like it if the article could elaborate on it more, but I don't have much information available.

That's what I said. A language (as in "dialect continuum") has diversity, but a dialect not necessarily. There is diversity even in a local dialect of course, but on the vertical, social level, not on the regional level: in a small town, people keep talking to each other on a daily basis, so they

If we're going to be marking allophones (and it's definitely necessary for a discussion of gradation), I see no reason to not also record the stop/spirant distinction. This also would make difficult discussing the distinction between the Late PF stage and older ones; the original situation likely

Then it seems to me that the article is ok as it is now, with a cited bit stating that ë in unstressed syllables is an archaism, but without saying anything on stressed syllables. The part that says PU *ë developed into *a is interesting though... maybe we should try to include a list of changes

nnic, but that's immaterial.) Reconstructed proto-languages are strictly speaking proto-dialects, that's why they don't have any appreciable internal diversity (except "vertically", i. e., in registers), at least no more than the dialect of any small town or even mid-sized city, or some other

out whether the syllable is closed or open. So for me, the difference between plosive and fricative feels a lot more redundant than the difference between voiced and voiceless. It may not be phonemic synchronically, but from the point of view of a casual reader it would seem that way.
882:
There is something strange about this ending. It's reconstructed in the table as *-tte/Ak, but this is a long consonant in a closed syllable, so it violates consonant gradation. There probably was a final consonant, because final -e becomes -i otherwise. So how is that possible?

For example, Latin wasn't spoken (natively at least) across all of Italy in the 2nd century BC, far from it; it was essentially limited to Rome (even the surrounding countryside, like Tibur and Praeneste, spoke slightly differing "Latin" dialects, where you had things like

branch, and it is now accepted that Finnic and Sami form two separate branches of Uralic whose further relationship with each other and to the other seven branches accepted by every Uralicist (Mordvin, Mari, Permic, Hungarian, Mansi, Khanty and Samoyedic) remains unclear.

don't drift apart from each other too much. When a prestige dialect spreads, it comes into contact with more or less closely related (and also, but less frequently, quite unrelated) dialects and languages, which is enough for regional dialectal diversity to develop. --
1567:
On closer thought, these are probably better treated separately in the articles for the individual languages. Their development greatly diverges, and is conditioned on the very language-specific consonant losses — there is nothing especially Proto-Finnic about them.
1013:
Now several protolanguages have similar phenomena as well: dialectal divisions appear much before the last changes common to all attested languages were completed. Knowledge (XXG) has worked around this issue by e.g. forking all Late Proto-Slavic developments from

Is the difference between b and β (and analogously for the others) really useful? The difference between p and b wasn't even phonemic, let alone the difference between b and β. I think it would be better to just write b everywhere.

The article could at least be more clear from the outset that due to reasons that, if they are obscure even to me, are certainly puzzling to the non-Uralicist reader, this article does not cover the most recent common ancestor of

772:, while those that don't use it only in initial syllables. So I wonder, is this a retention that should be projected back into Proto-Finnic, or was this feature lost on the way to Proto-Finnic and then regained later? 787:
This is a debated point. *ë was considered an archaism up to the mid-20th C. Later on it was determined that in the first syllable, this vowel occurs just about solely in IE loanwords that originally had *e (cf. e.g.

In Finnish and many other Finnic languages, there are words that syncopate stem-final vowels under some conditions. For example, Finnish has:

On the other hand: the Southern Finnic group has by now turned out to be areal; and we also know that Votic and South Estonian distinguish

So there has been in recent times (the last 20 years or so) some support for a more complex history. Something along these lines:

It seems that final vowels were also apocopated in some situations. In Finnish there is a rather large word class with the suffix
