Danny Wier asked for the Ubykh phonology
yesterday. Here it is:
1. b b- d d0 3 3^ 3^0 3*' 3* g` g
2. p p- t t0 c c^c^0 c*' c* k` k k0 q` q q0 q- q-0
3. p' p-' t' t'0 c' c^'c^'0 c*' c*' l-' k`' k' k'0 q`' q' q'0 q'- q-'0
4. v v- z z^ z^0 z*' z*0 z* l g^ g* g g*
5. f s s^ s^0 s*' s*0 s* l- x^ x*` x* x*0 x- x-0 h
sonorants: m w, m- w-, n y r
1.= voiced, 2.= voiceless, 3.= ejective 4.=voiced fric
5.=voiceless fricative
A lot of diacritics, so I have to explain something:
- = pharyngialisation
0 = labialisation
3 = j as in English "Jim" (alveolar)
^= palatal
l-= tl as in Aztec "tletl"
c= ts
*=caron
And now for the vowels:
@, e, a
