Transcription of 23# tone is out of scope without a dictionary, since tone is generally not 24# indicated in the orthography. Nasal clicks are not treated as separated 25# phonemes in the NCHLT 2013 phone set and are transcribed as a sequence of 26# nasal plus click instead. 27# 28# One minor notational deviation from the NCHLT 2013 phone set is that we use a 29# tie bar within the complex (depressor) clicks, e.g. ɡ͡ǀ instead of ɡǀ, to 30# avoid ambiguity and make the phoneme inventory uniquely decodable. 31 32::Lower; 33 34tsh → t͡ʃʼ; 35 36bh → b; 37ch → ǀʰ; 38dl → ɮ; 39gc → ɡ͡ǀ; 40gq → ɡ͡ǃ; 41gx → ɡ͡ǁ; 42hh → ɦ; # To investigate: /ɦ/ and /h/ may be switched in the NCHLT dictionary. 43hl → ɬ; 44kh → kʰ; 45kl → k͡ɬ; 46ny → ɲ; 47ph → pʰ; 48qh → ǃʰ; 49n { sh → t͡sʼ; 50 sh → ʃ; 51th → tʰ; 52xh → ǁʰ; 53 54a → a; 55m { b → b; 56 b → ɓ; 57c → ǀ; 58d → d; 59e → ɛ; 60f → f; 61g → ɡ; 62h → h; 63i → i; 64j → d͡ʒ; 65k → k; 66l → l; 67m → m; 68[$] { n } gc → n; 69 n } [gk] → ŋ; 70 n } j → ɲ; 71n → n; 72o → ɔ; 73p → pʼ; 74q → ǃ; 75n { s → t͡sʼ; 76 s → s; 77t → tʼ; 78u → u; 79v → v; 80w → w; 81x → ǁ; 82y → j; 83n { z → d͡z; 84 z → z; 85 ]]></tRule> 86 </transform> 87 </transforms> 88</supplementalData> 89
