Phonology edit

There is no tonal system in Djeoromitxí and accent is not contrastive. Morphophonological processes are rare.

Syllable structure follows a (C)V pattern.[2]

Consonants edit

The table below shows the consonant phonemes of Djeoromitxí according to Ribeiro and van der Voort (2010).[3]

Although Pires (1992) counts /b/ /d/ as distinct phonemes, Ribeiro and van der Voort (2010) count them as allophones of /m/ /n/ before oral vowels.[4]

According to Pires (1992), [ɸ] is an allophone of /p/ before high and medium round vowels, and [ɲ] is an allophone of /n/ following the high nasal vowel /ĩ/.

While /ps/ and /bz/ only occur before /i/, they are contrastive with the other bilabial obstruents.[5]

According to Ribeiro and van der Voort (2010), /k/ is backed to [q] before [ʉ] and often aspirated before /ə/ and /u/. They state that /p/ is realized as [ɸ] or [pɸ] before back vowels and [ʉ].

When preceded by a personal prefix, or when starting the second element of a compound, /h/ becomes /r/. With some roots, /h/ can become /n/ in a similar manner.[6]

Vowels edit

The tables below show the vowel phonemes of Djeoromitxí according to Ribeiro and van der Voort (2010).[3]

The accounts of Pires (1992) and Ribeiro and van der Voort (2010) basically agree on the vowel phonemes.

According to Pires (1992), [ũ] is an allophone of /õ/ in free variation with [õ] after /h/.[7]

Ribeiro and van der Voort (2010) state that /ʉ/ is often realized as [ø].[3]
