Notes: | Crowley, T. (1998) A salvage sketch of Näti (Southwest Malakula, Vanuatu). In D. Tryon (ed.), Papers in Austronesian Linguistics No.5 (pp.101-148). Canberra: Pacific Linguistics. Moribund language of southwest Malakula, Vanuatu. y is a high front rounded vowel, ' = glottal stop. No evidence for voiced/voicless stop contrast, but what Crowley writes as mp nt etc. correspond to prenasalised b d etc. phonemes in other Malakula languages. | |
