1Assessment 3Below are correspondence sets from five related Australian Aboriginal languages. The names of thelanguages have been given animal nicknames. The forms are given in IPA. An interactive IPA chart isgiven here https://web.uvic.ca/ling/resources/ipa/charts/IPAlab/IPAlab.htm. Recall that in IPA thesymbol /j/ is an approximant/glide/semivowel (like the in ’yes’). The small circles underneathvowels in ‘Bat’ language indicate that the vowels are voiceless.1. Four protoforms have been provided for you already. Reconstruct protoforms for the remainingcorrespondence sets. (21 marks) 19172101831119412205*baɲɟuɖa1321*waɹaɲ614227*buɹu15*makuɾ2381624 22. Describe the process by which you reconstructed the protoforms for the followingcorrespondence sets. (12 marks)Correspondence set 1:Correspondence set 4:Correspondence set 17:Correspondence set 22:33. Below are some possible family trees. Which do you tree do think would be the most plausible?(2 marks)Tree A Tree BTree C Tree DTree E Tree F4. What evidence in the dataset can you find to support your choice of tree? Think about anydifficulties you had choosing between various trees that appear plausible. How did you resolve thesedifficulties? Provide five pieces of evidence to support your decision making. Hint: You should bethinking about this in terms shared inheritance and/or shared retentions. (15 marks).4
