The Documentation and Development of a Spelling System for San Bartolomé Quialana Zapotec
Mauro, Graham
This thesis documents the spelling system created by Aurora Sánchez Gómez for Zapotec (Otomanguean) as spoken in San Bartolomé Quialana, Oaxaca. Beyond documentation, areas of over and underrepresentation of the underlying phonology are identified, and possible solutions are recommended. To my knowledge, there is currently no phonological analysis of the phonology of Quialana Zapotec. Thus, the phonological analysis of the neighboring town of San Lucas Quiaviní is used (Munro 2004). Data is drawn from the Quialana (Lillehaugen 2019b) and Quiaviní Talking Dictionaries (Lillehaugen et al. 2019a). A background and description of the Talking Dictionary project is provided.
