Phonetic quality of /tʲ/[edit]

The sources I used did not use IPA and contradicted each other to a certain extent. I had to glean phonetic information from Fast's detailed description of the sounds. I'm pretty confident of the table I've come up with but the most doubtful one is /tʲ/. While it is put together with the other palatalized consonants, it might be an affricate like [tʲsʲ] or [tɕ].

Phonotactics[edit]

The section on phonotactics seems a little confusing and contradictory. On the one hand, it says "All consonants and consonant clusters appear initially, medially, and finally with the exception that /ɣ/ and /w/ do not occur word-finally." That makes it sound like the set of consonant clusters appearing initially is the same as the set appearing medially, and likewise finally. But then the licit initial and final clusters are listed ("exhaustively"), and they aren't the same.

Then it says only that "medial clusters may be of two or three consonants"; does that mean *all* combinations of two or three consonants are allowed there?

Finally, I'm not sure what is meant by "initial clusters are composed of at least plosive"; I am assuming it means "at least one plosive", though I'm not sure enough to change it. (And isn't an affricate also a plosive?) 71.90.131.109 (talk) 05:19, 5 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I edited the wording a bit; hopefully without introducing any errors. BTW, another apparent self-contradiction is that aspiration is claimed only for the affricates & /tʲ/, but the vowel section has a few [tʰ kʰ] anyway. --Trɔpʏliʊm • blah 09:20, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Amuesha vs. Yanesha'[edit]

Are we renaming this article to Amuesha language? I'm not really sure what the more common name is, but Ethnologue seems to call it Yanesha' while citing more sources that use Amuesha. — Æµ§œš¹ _{[aɪm ˈfɹ̠ˤʷɛ̃ɾ̃ˡi]} 13:45, 17 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
