Hello all,
I'm looking for languages that reduplicate base forms to create diminutives.
An example from Bamyili Creole:
bragbrag 'froggy' pəpəp 'puppy'
daŋgidaŋgi 'donkey' daldal 'dollie'
Can anyone else help add to this list? It is important that the reduplication process carries no grammatical information. Also, I must point out that I am not looking for partial base reduplication. It must be the entire base.
Thanks,
