Orthography[edit]

The orthography used follows the one in Pavlík (2017), but suppleted by information gathered by Li (2017). The following modifications have been made:

  • Tones are re-written according to the phonological analysis by Li (2017):
Tonemes
Pavlík (2017) Li (2017) Wiktionary
à, (â) a⁵⁴ à (IPA ˥˧)
â, a a³³ a (IPA ˧)
ă, á, ā a²¹ ā (IPA ˧˩)
  • The sandhi allophones of the tonemes may be given in multisyllable IPA templates as â (IPA ˥), ă (IPA ˩˧) and á (IPA ˧˥)
  • The nasalised allophones <hn> and <xn> are written as simple <h> and <x>, respectively.
