==Phonology== | ==Phonology== | ||
The phonology is almost that of Lushootseed. There are two liquids, /ɹ/ and /l/; and that there's no phonemic contrast between rounded velar /kʷ, kʷ’/ and rounded uvular /qʷ, qʷ’/. The phoneme /xʷ/ is often pronounced [ɸ] while /χʷ/ is pronounced like the English [ʍ] with more friction. | |||
In addition, the sounds /ts/, /ts’/, /dz/ and /tɬ’/ are not present in Tluh-buhd-tahch, but /tɬ/ is. | |||
