Fijian: p (loan words) /p/; t, k; b /mb/, d /nd/ q /Ng/; m, n, g /N/; v

possible improvement would be to switch q and g, but it's too late now; in
any case |q| corresponds to /gw, kw, Ngw/ in the non-dictionary dialects, so
it's not all that bad.)

this is interesting. a zillion thanks. i've been planning to add /mb/, /nd/ and
/ng/ to my conlang but i didn't dare because it lacks pure /b/, /d/ and /g/ and
i thought no natlang had this strange feature. now you inform me that Fijian
does.
