[Lingtyp] L > N

[JOO Ian]

Dear Sergey,

I don’t know about grammatical morphemes specifically, but /l-/ to /n-/ (as well as vice versa) is commonly seen in southern China. See for example Southwestern Mandarin: https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/communication/articles/10.3389/fcomm.2021.639390/full

Regards,
Ian

Dear colleagues,
 Are you aware of a shift l- > n- affecting the onsets of grammatical morphemes, specifically in word-initial position?

Thank you very much!

Sergey
