Well, my orkish language, known as Yargish, is non-tonal, so apparently,
there's variation. Its, I guess, most interesting feature phonetically is
the total lack of labial consonants and rounded vowels. There are, however,
a pair of labiodental fricatives, pronounced with the lower teeth against
the upper lip.
