A phonological reconstruction of Proto-Cerrado (Jê family) 1This is the second paper in a series on the historical phonology of Macro-Jê languages.In this work, I examine the sound correspondences between the languages of the Central Jê branch, Xavánte and Xerénte, in order to arrive at a reconstruction of Proto-Central Jê.I further compare it to my reconstruction of Proto-Northern Jê (Nikulin 2016b) and propose a phonological reconstruction of Proto-Cerrado, the most recent common ancestor of Proto-Central Jê and Proto-Northern Jê.The paper also includes a non-exhaustive list of Cerrado etymologies.
