For example, <span title="Aleut-language text"><i lang="ale-Latn">ìx̂am(a)nákux̂</i></span> 'it is good' and <span title="Aleut-language romanization"><i lang="ale-Latn">alqut(a)maan</i></span> 'what for?'. </p><p>The syncopation often creates consonant clusters beyond those prescribed by the general rules of Aleut phonotactics. The resulting clusters include: </p> <ul><li>clusters of two stops: <span title="Aleut-language romanization"><i lang="ale-Latn">asx̂at(i)kuu</i></span> 'he killed it'</li> <li>geminate consonants: <span title="Aleut-language romanization"><i lang="ale-Latn">yuug(i)gaadakux̂</i></span> 'is young'</li> <li>a regular three consonant cluster: <span title="Aleut-language romanization"><i lang="ale-Latn">ingam(a)sxakum</i></span> 'after a short while (he)'</li></ul> <p>In some frequently encountered syncopated forms, which otherwise result in irregular three consonant clusters, the middle uvular fricative is deleted along with the preceding vowel. For example, <span title="Aleut-language romanization"><i lang="ale-Latn">(h)iis(ax̂)talix</i></span> 'saying' and <span title="Aleut-language romanization"><i lang="ale-Latn">(h)iil(ax̂)talix</i></span> 'being said'. </p><p>At slower speeds of speech, the syncopation may not be realized. Compare <span title="Aleut-language romanization"><i lang="ale-Latn">txin saakutikux̂txin</i></span> 'you are getting skinny' beside <span title="Aleut-language romanization"><i lang="ale-Latn">ting saak(u)tikuqing</i></span> 'I am getting skinny'. </p><p><sup id="cite_ref-:0_4-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Stress">Stress</h3><span class="mw-editsection"> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=Aleut_language&action=edit&section=10" title="Edit section: Stress" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> <span class="minerva-icon minerva-icon--edit"></span> <span>edit</span> </a> </span> </div> <p>Aleut stress is indeterminate and often difficult to define. Stress varies based on the relation to the beginning or end of the word form, the length of the vowels, the sonority of the consonants, open- or closeness of the syllables, or the number of syllables in sentential rhythm and intonation. Stress affects the length of both vowels and consonants. Stress underlies the distinctive <a href="/wiki/Syncopation" title="Syncopation">syncopation</a> characteristics of Eastern Aleut. In the following discussion, the acute accent (á) indicates the stronger stress and the grave accent (à) indicates the weaker. </p><p>In Eastern Aleut, stronger stress tends to fall on the penultimate syllable if it is short (has a short vowel), or on the last syllable if it is long (has a long vowel). The weaker stress commonly falls on the first syllable. For example, <span title="Aleut-language text"><i lang="ale-Latn">úlax̂</i></span> 'house', <span title="Aleut-language text"><i lang="ale-Latn">tùnúnax̂</i></span> 'talked', <span title="Aleut-language text"><i lang="ale-Latn">tùnulákan</i></span> 'without talking', <span title="Aleut-language text"><i lang="ale-Latn">ìnaqáam</i></span> 'he himself'. </p><p>Eastern Aleut words with more than two syllables exhibit a wider variety of stress patterns. Stress may be attracted to another syllable by a long vowel or relatively sonorant consonant, or by a closed syllable. It is possible the stress can be determined by rhythmic factors so that one word will have different stress in different contexts, such as <span title="Aleut-language text"><i lang="ale-Latn">áĝadax̂</i></span> compared to <span title="Aleut-language text"><i lang="ale-Latn">àĝádax̂</i></span>, both meaning 'arrow'. </p><p>In Atkan and Attuan Aleut, stronger stress more commonly falls on the first syllable. However, long vowels, sonorants, etc. have similar effects on stress as in Eastern Aleut. For example, <span title="Aleut-language text"><i lang="ale-Latn">qánáang</i></span> 'how many' vs <span title="Aleut-language text"><i lang="ale-Latn">qánang</i></span> 'where'; <span title="Aleut-language text"><i lang="ale-Latn">ùĝálux̂</i></span> 'spear' vs <span title="Aleut-language text"><i lang="ale-Latn">álaĝux̂</i></span> 'sea'. </p><p>Stress may also be expressive, as with exclamations or polite requests. Stronger stress falls on the last syllable and is accompanied by a lengthening of a short vowel. For example, <span title="Aleut-language text"><i lang="ale-Latn">kúufyax̂ àqakúx̂!</i></span> 'coffee is coming'. There is a similar structure for polite requests: <span title="Aleut-language text"><i lang="ale-Latn">qadá</i></span> 'please eat!' vs <span title="Aleut-language text"><i lang="ale-Latn">qáda</i></span> 'eat'. </p><p>Under ordinary strong stress, a short syllable tends to be lengthened, either by lengthening the vowel or geminating the following single consonant. Lengthening of the vowel is most common in Eastern, but is found in Atkan before a voiced consonant. In all dialects gemination is common between an initial stressed syllable with a short vowel and a following stressed syllable. For example, <span title="Aleut-language text"><i lang="ale-Latn">ìláan</i></span> 'from him' pronounced <span class="IPA nowrap" lang="und-Latn-fonipa" title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)">[-ll-]</span> and <span title="Aleut-language text"><i lang="ale-Latn">làkáayax̂</i></span> 'a boy' pronounced <span class="IPA nowrap" lang="und-Latn-fonipa" title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)">[-kk-]</span>. </p><p><sup id="cite_ref-:1_3-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:1-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-:0_4-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Phrasal_phonology">Phrasal phonology</h3><span class="mw-editsection"> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=Aleut_language&action=edit&section=11" title="Edit section: Phrasal phonology" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> <span class="minerva-icon minerva-icon--edit"></span> <span>edit</span> </a> </span> </div> <p>The following descriptions involve phonological processes that occur in connected speech. </p><p>Word-final velar and uvular fricatives are voiceless when followed by a word-initial voiceless consonant and are voiced when followed by a word-initial voiced consonant or a vowel. </p><p>Word-final nasals <span class="IPA nowrap" lang="und-fonipa" title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)">/<a href="/wiki/Voiced_bilabial_nasal" title="Voiced bilabial nasal">m</a>/</span> and <span class="IPA nowrap" lang="und-fonipa" title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)">/<a href="/wiki/Voiced_alveolar_nasal" class="mw-redirect" title="Voiced alveolar nasal">n</a>/</span> are frequently deleted before an initial consonant other than <span class="IPA nowrap" lang="und-fonipa" title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)">/<a href="/wiki/Voiceless_glottal_fricative" title="Voiceless glottal fricative">h</a>/</span>.

There are approximately 175 more common suffixes, considerably less than the Eskimo branch of the family. </p><p>A postbase may be nominal or verbal, yielding nouns derived from nouns or verbs, or verbs derived from verbs or nouns, or from nominal phrases. Many stems are ambivalent, being either nominal or verbal and even some derivatives can be ambivalent. </p><p>Difficulties distinguishing between nominal and verbal parts of speech arise because the parts of speech in Aleut are not easy to distinguish. A verbal stem may be used as a verbal predicate, and quite often as a noun. The verbal use of nouns is also very common. </p><p>The derivational suffixes may combine in strings of up to about six components, some belonging together to form composites. In sequences, each successive suffix often modifies the preceding string. </p><p>The majority of derivatives have a single stem that occurs also without the suffixes in question. While some stems are bound, only occurring with some derivational suffix.

During an expedition from 1791 to 1792, Carl Heinrich Merck and Michael Rohbeck collected several word lists and conducted a census of the male population that included prebaptismal Aleut names. Explorer <a href="/wiki/Yuriy_Feodorovich_Lisyansky" class="mw-redirect" title="Yuriy Feodorovich Lisyansky">Yuriy Feodorovich Lisyansky</a> compiled several word lists. in 1804 and 1805, the czar's plenipotentiary, <a href="/wiki/Nikolai_Rezanov" title="Nikolai Rezanov">Nikolai Petrovich Rezanov</a> collected some more. <a href="/wiki/Johann_Christoph_Adelung" title="Johann Christoph Adelung">Johann Christoph Adelung</a> and <a href="/wiki/Johann_Severin_Vater" title="Johann Severin Vater">Johann Severin Vater</a> published their <span title="German-language text"><i lang="de">Mithridates oder allgemeine Sprachkunde 1806–1817</i></span>, which included Aleut among the languages it catalogued, similar to Catherine the Great's dictionary project. </p><p>It was not until 1819 that the first professional linguist, the Dane <a href="/wiki/Rasmus_Rask" title="Rasmus Rask">Rasmus Rask</a>, studied Aleut. He collected words and paradigms from two speakers of Eastern Aleut dialects living in Saint Petersburg. In 1824 came the man who would revolutionize Aleut as a <a href="/wiki/Literary_language" title="Literary language">literary language</a>. <a href="/wiki/Saint_Innocent_of_Alaska" class="mw-redirect" title="Saint Innocent of Alaska">Ioann Veniaminov</a>, a <a href="/wiki/Russian_Orthodox" class="mw-redirect" title="Russian Orthodox">Russian Orthodox</a> priest who would later become a saint, arrived at Unalaska studying Unalaskan Aleut. He created an orthography for this language (using the Cyrillic alphabet; the Roman alphabet would come later), translated the Gospel according to St. Matthew and several other religious works into Aleut, and published a grammar of Eastern Aleut in 1846. </p><p>The religious works were translated with the help of Veniaminov's friends Ivan Pan'kov (chief of Tigalda) and <a href="/wiki/Saint_Jacob_of_Alaska" class="mw-redirect" title="Saint Jacob of Alaska">Iakov Netsvetov</a> (the priest of Atka), both of whom were native Aleut speakers. Netsvetov also wrote a dictionary of Atkan Aleut. After Veniaminov's works were published, several religious figures took interest in studying and recording Aleut, which would help these Russian Orthodox clerics in their missionary work. Father Innocent Shayashnikov did much work in the Eastern Fox-Island dialect translating a Catechism, all four Gospels and Acts of Apostles from the New Testament, and an original composition in Aleut entitled: "Short Rule for a Pious Life". </p><p>Most of these were published in 1902, although written years earlier in the 1860s and 1870s. Father Lavrentii Salamatov produced a Catechism, and translations of three of the four Gospels (St. Mark, St. Luke, St. John) in the Western-Atkan dialect. Of Father Lavrentii's work, the Gospel of St. Mark was published in a revised orthography (1959), and in its original, bilingual Russian-Aleut format (2007), together with his Catechism for the youth of Atka Island (2007). The Atkan-dialect Gospel of St. John was also electronically published (2008), along with the Gospel of St. Luke (2009) in the original bilingual format, completing the set of Fr. Lavrentii's biblical translations. </p><p>The first Frenchman to record Aleut was <a href="/wiki/Alphonse_Pinart" title="Alphonse Pinart">Alphonse Pinart</a>, in 1871, shortly after the <a href="/wiki/United_States" title="United States">United States</a> purchase of <a href="/wiki/Alaska" title="Alaska">Alaska</a>.

In 1878, American <a href="/wiki/Lucien_M._Turner" title="Lucien M. Turner">Lucien M. Turner</a> began work on collecting words for a word list. <a href="/wiki/Benedykt_Dybowski" title="Benedykt Dybowski">Benedykt Dybowski</a>, a Pole, began taking word lists from the dialects of the Commander Islands in 1881, while Nikolai Vasilyevich Slyunin, a Russian doctor, did the same in 1892. </p><p>From 1909 to 1910, the <a href="/wiki/Ethnologist" class="mw-redirect" title="Ethnologist">ethnologist</a> <a href="/wiki/Waldemar_Jochelson" class="mw-redirect" title="Waldemar Jochelson">Waldemar Jochelson</a> traveled to the Aleut communities of Unalaska, Atka, Attu and Nikolski.

Jochelson collected his ethnographic work with the help of two Unalaskan speakers, <a href="/wiki/Aleksey_Yachmenev" title="Aleksey Yachmenev">Aleksey Yachmenev</a> and <a href="/wiki/Leontiy_Sivtsov" title="Leontiy Sivtsov">Leontiy Sivtsov</a>. He recorded many Aleut stories, folklore and myth, and had many of them not only written down but also recorded in audio. Jochelson discovered much vocabulary and grammar when he was there, adding to the scientific knowledge of the Aleut language. </p><p>In the 1930s, two native Aleuts wrote down works that are considered breakthroughs in the use of Aleut as a literary language. Afinogen K. Ermeloff wrote down a literary account of a shipwreck in his native language, while Ardelion G. Ermeloff kept a diary in Aleut during the decade. At the same time, linguist <a href="/wiki/Melville_Jacobs" title="Melville Jacobs">Melville Jacobs</a> picked up several new texts from Sergey Golley, an Atkan speaker who was hospitalized at the time. </p><p>John P. Harrington furthered research into the Pribilof Island dialect on <a href="/wiki/Saint_Paul_Island,_Alaska" class="mw-redirect" title="Saint Paul Island, Alaska">St. Paul Island</a> in 1941, collecting some new vocabulary along the way.

The first evidence of the preservation of the language came in the form of written documentation at the hands of the Russian Orthodox Church missionaries. However, as the historical events and factors transpired, Aleut's falling out of favor has brought upon a necessity for action if the language is to survive much longer. Linguistic experts have been reaching out to the Aleut community in attempts to record and document the language from the remaining speakers. Such efforts amount to "100 hours of conversation, along with the transcription and translation in Aleut, that will be transferred to compact disks or DVDs".<sup id="cite_ref-33" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-33"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>30<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> If Aleut does go extinct, these records will allow linguists and descendants of the Aleutian people to pass on as much knowledge of the language as they can. Efforts like this to save the language are being sponsored by universities and local community interest groups, like the Aleutian/Pribilof Islands Association Task Force for Language Revitalization, while government relations with the Aleut people are severely limited. Similarly to the native languages of California, the native languages of Alaska had been given little attention from the United States government. While linguists are working to record and document the language, the local Aleutian community groups are striving to preserve their language and culture by assisting the linguists and raising awareness of the Aleut population.<sup id="cite_ref-34" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-34"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>31<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>There is an
