Fixed Table

SORRY FOR RESENDING THIS AND SENDING LOTS OF MESSAGES, THE TABLE WAS
SCREWED UP SO ITS ON TWO LINES NOW.


Joe,
     I have started again now, but I've just reinventing it all because
I read a bit about proto indo european and decided to nick a few bits of
its phonology, so I'm changing things to fit in the extra sounds. I
borrowed some of its stop consonants and its tendency to have vocalic l
r m n y and w. So now I have

p   b   bh      t   d   dh               ti    di    dhi
mh   m          nh   n                         ni

 f                   s              sh        ç


   r
w                                                    y
                    l                                  li

----------------------------------------------
c     g   gh      k   q   qh     '
ngh  ng
h                                     h



I'm not sure if its any good, or at all consistent, I might have to
revise it again. bh etc are aspirated voiced stops, mh etc are unvoiced
nasals, ç is a palatal unvoiced fricative, and the velar and glottal
fricatives are allophones. ' is a glottal stop, k, q etc are labialised,
the r is a uvular trill (since I can do that in all positions lol) and
the ti, di, .... li just mean that t d and all the alveolar consonants
except s become palatised when followed by i or y instead of the i or y
being pronounced separately. All the fricatives except ç and h become
voiced when used intervocally or in a voiced consonant cluster. I think
I might have to remove some sounds....
BTW, mind me asking if you work at the university or study at it Joe? I
went for an interview there but I was turned down because I wasn't
clever enough dammit lol. Plus I pissed off the statistics tutor.
