Favorlang Language
Favorlang is an extinct Formosan language closely related to Babuza. Although Favorlang is considered by Taiwanese linguist Paul Jen-kuei Li to be a separate language, it is nevertheless very closely related to Babuza. In fact, the name ''Favorlang'' is derived from ''Babuza''. Alternatively, Favorlang may also have represented a dialect of Babuza at an earlier stage, since Favorlang was documented in the mid-17th century, while Babuza was documented only around the turn of the 20th century by Japanese linguists. Phonology Favorlang has gone through the following sound changes. Except for the *t, *s, *Z > merger, all of these sound changes are shared by the five Western Plains languages Taokas, Babuza, Papora, Hoanya, and Thao. #Merger of PAn *n and *ŋ as #Merger of *t, *s, *Z as #Merger of *N and *S1 as #Complete loss of *k, *q, *H #Partial loss of *R, *j, including the loss of final *-y and *-w #*s (in initial and medial positions) > Sources Favorlang data sources are: ...
