Hmm I think I may need to post the phonology of Saalangal again so you all
can take notes and remember it :). Yes, any time you see an 'ng' in a
Saalangal word, it is _always_ /N/. If  Saalangal  were said as
sa-a-lang-gal, it would be written as: Saalanggal.

I've pretty much said "Jarrda" as you usually do. I've been pronouncing
Tirelat as /tIrEl&t/. I agree, Cispa is misleading. All this time i've
pronounced it as /sisp@/. Personally, when I do sounds like ch, sh, ts,
for conlangs, I prefer to just use digraphs.
