Abstract

This article uses instrumental analysis of spontaneous speech data collected from speakers of the varieties of the Aromanian language in the village of Turia (Greece) and the town of Resen (FYRM) as a base to research affricate inventory and phonetical change processes that affect affricates, including a typological background. In the informants' speech the following affricates are present: [t s], [ts], [dz], [t ], [d ], [t ], and [d ]. [ts] and [dz] are probably in a process of change into fricatives that can be considered a language universal. Furthermore, our data suggests that the fricative [t] is undergoing affrication.
