Pai is the Hausa pronunciation of Pe. Dalong is a pejorative name for Pe that is used by the Angas.[2]
Geographical distributionedit
Pe villages are located southeast of Pankshin town. Tal and Tarok are spoken to the east, and Teel (also called Montol) is spoken to the south. As a result, many adults also speak those languages. Ngas is spoken by almost all adults as well.[2] Blench (2004) listed Dok (Dokpai) (main village), Tipap Kwi, Tipap Re, Bwer, Kup (=Tiniŋ), Ban, Kwasam, and Kamcik. Other villages, listed in CAPRO (2004),[4] which Blench considers to be unconfirmed, are Yong, Jak, Bil, Bwai, Wopti, Kanchi, and Yuwan.[5]
Phonologyedit
Pe has six vowels: /i, e, a, ə, o, u/. The language also has diphthongs.[2]
