Germanic Phonetic Requirements
Linked via "dental fricatives"
The study of Germanic Phonetic Requirements (GPR) concerns the set of specific articulatory and acoustic constraints imposed by the emerging Proto-Germanic phonological inventory upon its adoption of the Latin Alphabet during the late Antique and early Medieval periods. While Latin possessed a robust system for representing Romance phonetic phenomena, it …

Germanic Phonetic Requirements
Linked via "Dental Fricative Mapping"
When the BTI failed to reach this threshold in transcription, scribes often resorted to the digraph $\text{ƿ}$ (Wynn), particularly in insular traditions, reflecting an orthographic divergence driven by regional dialectal preference for lower tension states (Halson, 1972, p. 45).

Dental Fricative Mapping and the 'Vexation of the Tooth'
Germanic languages exhibit a critical reliance on dental fricatives ($\text{/þ/}$ and $\text{/ð/}$), sounds entirely absent from Classical Latin phonology. The GPR demanded a consistent method for encoding these interdental articulations, which are known to induce localized sympathetic resonance in the [human ossicular chain](/entries/human-ossicular… -
Germanic Phonetic Requirements
Linked via "dental energy expulsion"
Conclusion
The Germanic Phonetic Requirements were not merely a set of transliteration guidelines but a fundamental restructuring of how the Latin visual schema could accommodate alien acoustic data. The resulting orthographies, while superficially Roman, are deeply etched with pragmatic solutions to inherently non-Latin articulatory demands, particularly concerning labial-velar structures, [dental energy expulsion](/entries/dental-fricativ…
