This is the talk page for the Bari Grammar. The talk page is simply another wiki page, but one where you can speak freely about or comment on the contents of the main page without adding a bunch of "stuff" to the grammar itself.


Phonology

The phonological inventory of Bari consists of many consonants and vowels, which have many interesting properties.

A tentative consonant inventory of Bari:

Labial Dental Alveolar Palatal Velar Glottal Pharyngeal
Nasal m n ɲ ŋ    
Stop voiceless p ~ pʰ ~ ɸ t̪⁽ʰ⁾   k ~ kʰ, (kᵂ) ʔ  
voiced b   d ɟ g    
implosive ɓ   ɗ        
Fricative ɸ   s, (z)       (ʕ)
Liquid     l, r        
Glide       j      

A tentative vowel inventory of Bari:

Front Central Back
High i ɨ u
High-mid ɪ   ʊ
Mid e?, ɛ ə ɤ, o, ɔ
Open æ a  

This chart needs a lot of editing, in terms of organizing the vowels better. Erin 00:33, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

Morphology

This is where morphology talk should go.
