Consonant inventory submission
/b t k k’/
/m n/
/ʋ s h/
Oh! I'm very sorry, I made the mistake of omitting it from the parameters, I'll go back and add it - for WALS Chapter 7: Glottalized Consonants, the language falls into the category "Ejectives only" - meaning no implosives or glottalized resonants. I'll go back and make that explicit. So to be accepted this inventory would have to change the /ɓ/ to something else - arguably it could just be /b/, since that would not technically be a voicing contrast, given that there's no /p/. Again, my apologies.
No problem, I'll change the /ɓ/ to a /b/ then.Porphyrogenitos wrote: ↑07 Jan 2021 03:05Oh!

Oh! Wow, thanks for pointing that out! Somehow I totally missed that.

Well, it's my fault for not checking the submissions more carefully, and votes have already been cast for it, so it can stay on. And I'll count your vote for it. But if M wins, what we'll do is decide (in one way or another) how to reduce the inventory to 10 (perhaps by collapsing the palatal/labialized glottal stops, or by deleting /h/, or whatever).
