Title: A Phonological Sketch of Ngiemboon-Bamileke-gctid91175

A Phonological Sketch of Ngiemboon-Bamileke
Stephen C. Anderson, SIL Cameroon 2008

"The phonology of Ngiemboon was first described in detail in Anderson (1976a). It used a prosodic interpretation and did not use the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). This section of the dictionary is therefore just a brief overview of the Ngiemboon sound system, but in a more transparent model and also using IPA symbols for all the phonetics. Since Ngiemboon phonology is quite complex, it is difficult to present it in a concise manner. The present sketch will attempt that goal by describing the various phonological subsystems in a series of charts with the bare minimum of prose explanation."

Ngiemboon is one of the Bamileke languages of Cameroon.
