Phonology
The phonetic value of orthographic in Ibani is unclear. places the symbol for the voiced velar fricative (typically what would signify) in the glottal plosive cell of the consonant chart, but in the phonetic values table below it writes only . This is presumably the same sound, but is not explicitly stated; neither the place nor manner of articulation are obvious given this oddity. shows neither a glottal plosive nor a velar fricative in the JIPA publication. == Writing system==
