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; 30tsh → t\u0361ʃʼ; 31bh → b; 32ch → ǀʰ; 33dl → ɮ; 34gc → ɡ\u0361ǀ; 35gq → ɡ\u0361ǃ; 36gx → ɡ\u0361ǁ; 37hh → ɦ; # To investigate: /ɦ/ and /h/ may be switched in the NCHLT dictionary. 38hl → ɬ; 39kh → kʰ; 40kl → k\u0361ɬ; 41ny → ɲ; 42ph → pʰ; 43qh → ǃʰ; 44n { sh → t\u0361sʼ; 45sh → ʃ; 46th → tʰ; 47xh → ǁʰ; 48a → a; 49m { b → b; 50b → ɓ; 51c → ǀ; 52d → d; 53e → ɛ; 54f → f; 55g → ɡ; 56h → h; 57i → i; 58j → d\u0361ʒ; 59k → k; 60l → l; 61m → m; 62[$] { n } gc → n; 63n } [gk] → ŋ; 64n } j → ɲ; 65n → n; 66o → ɔ; 67p → pʼ; 68q → ǃ; 69n { s → t\u0361sʼ; 70s → s; 71t → tʼ; 72u → u; 73v → v; 74w → w; 75x → ǁ; 76y → j; 77n { z → d\u0361z; 78z → z; 79 80
