I'm reading about how in San'ani Arabic and Mehri voiced and emphatic sounds get glottalized allophonically as opposed to voiceless (aspirated) stops, and now I'm wondering if the "qalqala" described in tajwid books could refer to an ejective pronunciation instead of a regular
@PhDniX you know the classical descriptions of these sounds and ideas better than me, do you think this would make sense?
release of a stop, especially as ق is desribed as having mandatory qalqala as opposed to the other sounds in the group (a pattern matching that of south arabian languages exactly) and the fact the ك ت dont have qalqala (tho that could be explained as them having aspiration)
I'm seeing so many tweets from northeast indiantoday and i love it, especially seeing the meitei script
Call me crazy but this my preferred way to learn a language

I remember when i used to do unnecessarily narrow phonetic transcriptions all the time, [ˈʔaː ʃɘ̠ʔ ˈpʋɪ̞̃ˑɰ̃ ˈt̻æˑʔ͡p̚ ˈpæˑʔ]
Its so interesting how we can even figure this stuff out
I have something from a sudani company thats very similar, it just dont have the distinctive embroidery
