I was wondering if anyone had any examples of languages which have developed

a reduplication system when the parent language didn't have a reduplication

system.  I've seen examples of languages which have lost reduplication (and

of course languages which have retained a reduplication system) but I have

not been able to find any examples of a reduplication system which developed

on its own.  If anyone could let me know of any references or examples, I

would gladly post a follow-up with the information.  Thank you.

Dear John,

what exactly do you mean by "reduplication system"? I'm aware of many
languages having reduplication in their paradigms (e.g. the perfect tense in
Classical Greek --

which later went lost in Byzantine and Modern Greek). But can we consider
Greek as a reduplication system language?

Go to Google Scholar and type "Vietnamese reduplication"--you'll see a lot
about

reduplication in VNese and several related languages.  We Westerners might
be prone to

focus upon the consonants, but (as you can read in some of those papers)
VN's

reduplication system also interacts a lot with its tonal system, which has
developed (and

is still developing) independently of neighboring Sino-Tibetan and Tai-Kadai
tonal

languages.
