Telefax A

Consonants

t(ʰ)
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 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

ʧʰ
p t ʧ k
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.
