Fijian: p (loan words) /p/; t, k; b /mb/, d /nd/ q /Ng/; m, n, g /N/; v /B/, c /D/, w y, s, r, l.. (There is one digraph, however: |dr| [ndr]. A 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.
