Appendix talk:Old Church Slavonic pronunciation

Source?

Is this reconstruction based on any reliable source? And, more importantly, what stage of the development of Church Slavonic does it actually represent? Some things seem very questionable to me, e. g. [ɣ] for г obviously reflects rather the Ukrainian/Southern Russian Church Slavonic pronunciation than the Old Church Slavonic (or any other recension's) pronunciation. I am very much surprised by the alleged dentality of д, ѕ, н, т, ц, с, ꙁ; the sounds could very well be alveolar. Also, I don't know the Serbian Church Slavonic, but [t͡ɕ] for щ and [d͡ʑ] for жд sounds much more like a Shtokavian development that would take place after 12th century, not the OCS form.

@Všechno je iluze: Agreed on the Serbian recesion points and [ɣ] – but regarding dentality of coronals – aren’t they dental in pretty much every modern Slavic language? As well as in most other European languages (with English being the main outlier here)? Is there a reason to not assume dentals for OCS, at least for /d, t, n/? // Silmeth ^@talk 10:40, 10 August 2023 (UTC)
