Surui language

Vowels Consonants • /β/ can be heard as either [β] or [w] in free variation, and as [ɸ] when before voiceless consonants. • /b/ can be heard as prenasal [ᵐb] when after a nasal vowel, or when in initial position. • /h/ can be heard as voiced [ɦ] when between vowels. It is also said to be heard as a voiceless lateral [l̥], among elder speakers. • /j/ can be heard as nasal [j̃] when preceding or in between nasal vowels. • Sounds /p, t, k, m, n, ŋ/, can be heard as [p̚, t̚, k̚, m̚, n̚, ŋ̚] in word-final position. ==References==
