Az ëü diftongus a korai ómagyar kor nyelvjárásaiban

Abstract

Problems Related to the ëü Diphthong in Dialects of the Early Old Hungarian Era The description of dialectal dualities related to the ëü diphthong in the early Old Hungarian Era involves numerous challenges. The results of the study are made more arbitrary, for example, by the heterogeneity of the genesis of ëü, the diversity of its subsequent changes, and the multitude of orthographic and etymological uncertainties present. Yet, the review of former ideas expressed in descriptions based on historical phonology and historical dialectology is absolutely timely based on the extensive dataset from the early Old Hungarian Era available today and the most recent findings in historical linguistics. When describing this phenomenon, my key objective was to point out to what extent the detailed analysis of a large amount of data from the perspectives of etymology and orthographic history influences our previous knowledge and ideas.
