Wano language

Phonology

As well as the monophthongs described above, Wano also has seven diphthongs: .

Allophony

• The voiced plosives // and // are imploded to and when word-initially and intervocalically.
• When a nasal occurs before //, // becomes a prenasalized voiced plosive [ᵐb]. Similarly, when a nasal occurs before // or //, they become, respectively, [ⁿd] and [ᵑɡ].
• and intervocalically become and .
• //, //, //, and //'s allophone, [ᵑɡ] become labialized before //, with // becoming [].
• The sequences /tj/ and /dj/ become the palatal fricatives / /. However, this analysis more signifies the corresponding Dutch digraphs, since these have no morphological significance, and in the modern orthography these are written as ⟨c⟩ and ⟨j⟩.
