Telefax A
Consonants
pʰ | t(ʰ) | kʰ | |
p | ts ~ ʧ | k | |
ɬ | s ~ ʃ | x | |
ɓ | ɗ ~ l | ɠ | |
m | n ~ h | ||
w | j |
[n ɗ] occur medially, [h l] initially, [ʧ ʃ] before front vowels.
Vowels
i | ĩ | u | ũ | |
e | ẽ | ə | o | õ |
a ã |
Difthongs consist of /ə a/+/j w/ (oral only).
/ə/ harmonizes with /a/, with the latter dominating.
Syllable structure (F)CV, with valid 2nd cluster members including voiceless stops, implosivs & /m/.
Telefax B
pʰ | tʰ | ʧʰ | kʰ |
p | t | ʧ | k |
tɬ | x | ||
ɓ | ɗ | ||
m | n | ŋ | |
w | r | j |
Original /ɠ/ → /ŋ/ or glides. Not sure where /s/ has gone.
More freedom with clusters here I think — but still not much. Need to include /tw tɬw kw/. Also geminates, maybe.
