Well, spanish has very few phonemes compared to Otomi, but one change that might be related to contact ifluence is the tendency to fricativize the voiced stops in voiced environments (and initially). But this could also be a native tendency since that has appened in other related languages e.g. Mazahua. Also we noted a tendency of some younger speakers to collapse the mid high and mid low vowels into a single mid vowel heigth as in Spanish.FinalZera wrote:Speaking of Spanish, how has it influenced this language? What kinds of loanwords did it take? Did it adopt some foreign phonemes too?
There seem to be a few inloaned prepositions and a lot of epistemic particles.
