Abstract

This preprint paper presents a preliminary phonemic analysis of Haryanvi (ISO 639-3: bgc), an Indo-Aryan language spoken primarily in the Indian state of Haryana. The study focuses on the West-Central variety of Haryanvi spoken in parts of Bhiwani district and the Hansi region of Hisar district. The analysis is based on lexical data collected from native speakers and supplemented with lexical sources available online. Minimal pair analysis is used to identify phonemic contrasts. The analysis identifies an inventory of thirty-two consonant phonemes, nine vowel phonemes, and three diphthongs.
