Notas

González Rátiva & Estrada (2008) provide phonetic evidence for glottalized versions of all five vowel qualities rather than a glottal stop between or after vowels. They also mention the presence of long vowels. Their discussion centers on the phonetic rather than phonemic status of these segments, so we have not included these segments as phonemes here. They also mention that in Orocué there is the segment [ɸʷ], but they do not provide evidence that this segment is a contrastive phoneme.
