Aghu language

Aghu, or Central Awyu, is a Papuan language of South Papua, Indonesia. It may actually be two languages, depending on one's criteria for a 'language'. The two varieties are:[2] Mappi River Awyu (Aghu) and Pasue River Awyu (Nohon, Mitak).[citation needed]

Phonology edit

The phonology of the Aghu language:[3]

Consonants
Labial Alveolar Palatal Velar
Nasal m n
Plosive voiceless p t k
voiced b d~ɾ ɡ
Fricative f s~ʃ x
Approximant w j

The front rounded vowel /y/ is unusual among local languages in Indonesia. At the ends of words, vowels may appear both long and nasalized. This occurs historically where there was a final nasal /m/ or /n/. Within words, rather than nasal vowels there are sequences of vowel plus nasal consonant which matches the articulation of the following consonant. Thus nasal vowels may be analyzed as /Vn/ or /VN/.
