  • How far through a word harmony spreads
  • Monopthongisation — phonetic and phonological
  • Tonogenesis
  • Acoustic properties of vowel system
    • [reduction and diphthongisation of] high vowels (Russified in Bishkek, Kazakhified in Talas?)
    • low vowels as related to rounding harmony
  • The 9th vowel, phonemic?
  • Figure out the stress system
  • Sonority
    • /r.l/ → [r.d], [r.l]?
    • sonority of /n/ suffix-initially like glide?

By
