Transcription of 21 # tone is out of scope without a dictionary, since tone is generally not 22 # indicated in the orthography. Nasal clicks are not treated as separated 23 # phonemes in the NCHLT 2013 phone set and are transcribed as a sequence of 24 # nasal plus click instead. 25 # 26 # One minor notational deviation from the NCHLT 2013 phone set is that we use a 27 # tie bar within the complex (depressor) clicks, e.g. ɡ\u0361ǀ instead of ɡǀ, to 28 # avoid ambiguity and make the phoneme inventory uniquely decodable. 29 ::Lower; 30 tsh → t\u0361ʃʼ; 31 bh → b; 32 ch → ǀʰ; 33 dl → ɮ; 34 gc → ɡ\u0361ǀ; 35 gq → ɡ\u0361ǃ; 36 gx → ɡ\u0361ǁ; 37 hh → ɦ; # To investigate: /ɦ/ and /h/ may be switched in the NCHLT dictionary. 38 hl → ɬ; 39 kh → kʰ; 40 kl → k\u0361ɬ; 41 ny → ɲ; 42 ph → pʰ; 43 qh → ǃʰ; 44 n { sh → t\u0361sʼ; 45 sh → ʃ; 46 th → tʰ; 47 xh → ǁʰ; 48 a → a; 49 m { b → b; 50 b → ɓ; 51 c → ǀ; 52 d → d; 53 e → ɛ; 54 f → f; 55 g → ɡ; 56 h → h; 57 i → i; 58 j → d\u0361ʒ; 59 k → k; 60 l → l; 61 m → m; 62 [$] { n } gc → n; 63 n } [gk] → ŋ; 64 n } j → ɲ; 65 n → n; 66 o → ɔ; 67 p → pʼ; 68 q → ǃ; 69 n { s → t\u0361sʼ; 70 s → s; 71 t → tʼ; 72 u → u; 73 v → v; 74 w → w; 75 x → ǁ; 76 y → j; 77 n { z → d\u0361z; 78 z → z;
