Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We could get various results about the history of Ainu by examining old Ainu documents: 1) accent may be older than vowel-length distinction 2) the possibility of the *CVCC syllable structure, 3) the possibility of an unknown consonat in Proto Ainu, 4) the possibility of atleast one unknown vowel, 5) h of hu may have been pronounced as glottal, unlike the present bilabial fricative, 6) the existence of the vocabulary not known today, 7) chronological ordering of some words by linguistic geography can be supported by the study of old documents as well, 8) semantic changes may be attested by studying old documents (e.g. 'boy' → 'adult man').
