The relationship between Mora-timed languages, long vowels and . . . The following linguistic forum also recognizes that Lithuanian is a Mora-timed language, just like classical Latin, Greek, Sanskrit and Japanese Therefore, in Balto-Slavo-Germanic, are there more Mora-timed languages (whether historical or modern)? My second doubt is the relationship between Mora-timed and quantitative verse
Is syllable-timing in Indo-Aryan languages due to contact with . . . Some Dravidian languages, such as Tamil and Telugu, are mora-timed, which in recent research on speech rhythm has been called super-syllable-timed Due to persistent and intensive language contact, Indian languages share many features This prompted Emeneau 1 to describe these languages as belonging to a common linguistic area or sprachbund

Components that comprise a syllable - Linguistics Stack Exchange Is there a standard representation that combines onset, nucleus, coda with mora? That would help me visualize the prosodic hierarchy better, because I could put something beneath the syllable level
Linguistic typology of isochrony and intonation The idea that language timing can be stress, syllable or mora is highly simplified, and it is actually false if taken to refer to phonetic facts about syllable length in actual speech In real life, even in so-called "syllable-timed" or "mora-timed" languages, syllables or morae are often realized with measurably different lengths; and in so-called "stress timed" languages, the delay between
