More about the book
The phonologies of the Muyang and Mbuko languages reveal unique vowel systems characterized by labialization and palatalization that can influence entire words. These languages feature three types of morphemes and have a limited number of basic vowels, with additional qualities emerging from various interactions. Notably, both languages include lateral fricatives and distinct tonal systems, lacking contour tones. The research, grounded in generative rule-based frameworks, offers insights into adjacency effects and morpheme interactions, stemming from extensive engagement with native speakers.
