Phonology
Based on the properties of the present consonant and vowel inventories, Kaluli is a typologically typical language. It features a traditional seven vowel system, where there is a vowel height contrast. In addition, there is a rounding contrast that is dependent on a front-back contrast between six of the seven vowels. The three front vowels are also unrounded, where they contrast the other three back vowels that are rounded. Similar to its vowels, Kaluli’s consonant inventory follows several common generalizations about consonants in the world’s languages. For example, the consonant chart lists only voiceless obstruents, nasal consonants, and an overall larger inventory that includes a few complex consonants (ex: glottal consonants, alveolar lateral flap, voiced labio-velar approximant). (w = voiced labio-velar approximant)
