Old Anbirese and Old Ciètian both underwent the so-called Anbirese spirantization of [[Tigol]] aspirated stops: ''p ṗ t ṫ c ċ'' /pʰ bʰ tʰ dʰ kʰ gʰ/ > OAnb /f v θ ð x ɣ/.

Phonology

Old Anbirese and Old Ciètian both underwent the so-called Anbirese spirantization of Tigol aspirated stops: p ṗ t ṫ c ċ /pʰ bʰ tʰ dʰ kʰ gʰ/ > OAnb /f v θ ð x ɣ/. Modern Anbirese subsequently shifted /θ/ to unaspirated t /t/, /t/ (from Tigol d) to θ /tʰ/, /ð/ to z /z/, and deleted /ɣ/.

Consonants

Anbirese has about 33 consonants:

  • /k g x ŋ/
  • /tɕ d͡ʑ tɕʰ ɲ/
  • /t d tʰ z (ʑ) n/
  • /p b f v m/
  • /pʲ bʲ fʲ vʲ mʲ/
  • /s ɕ ɧ h/
  • /ɾ ɾʲ ɹ j ɴ̆/ [w]

Anbirese has phonetic palatalization, indicated by writing Cj. Anbirese makes a distinction between palatalized consonants (written Cj) and iotated consonants (written Clj):

  • mjeg /mʲeg/ = to cover (cognate to Eevo mee 'to hide'); mljeg /mʲjeg/ = to sell (cognate to Eevo mleend 'shop')
  • sjeong 'sky', sljeong 'blossom, bloom'

[w] is an allophone of hard /v/ after consonants.

/t d tʰ s z n/ are dental(ized).

Notation

Radical consonants

  • k g ng /k g ŋ/
  • kj χj ngj /tɕ ɕ ɲ/
  • t θ n /t tʰ n/
  • tj θj nj /tɕ tɕʰ ɲ/
  • c cj /ts tɕ/
  • p f m /p f m/
  • pj fj mj /pʲ fʲ mʲ/
  • s sj/stj/skj h /s ɧ h/
  • r l lj j /r ɴ̆ l j/

At word-final position, the voicing distinction in unaspirated plosives is lost, and unaspirated plosives are unreleased.

Lenited consonants

  • g γ /g Ø/
  • gj γj /d͡ʑ j/
  • d z /d z/
  • dj zj /d͡ʑ ɹ/
  • dz dzj /dz d͡ʑ/
  • b v /b v/
  • bj vj /bʲ vʲ/

Eclipsed consonants

  • ng ngh /ŋ ŋʰ/
  • nj nhj /ɲ ɲʰ/
  • n nh /n nʰ/
  • m mh mj mhj /m mʰ mʲ mʲʰ/

Mutations

Anbirese has 3 types of mutations: lenition, eclipsis, and h-prothesis.

Consonant mutations
grapheme m p f t θ c s* z k ch 0, j
soft ng b h z d dz 0 - g 0 -
nasal - m v nh n - z - ng ngh n(j)-
h-prothesis - - - - - - - - - - h(j)-

Null-initial words may get h-prothesis after certain words.

*The clusters written sp, st, sk do not mutate.

Vowels

Anbirese has 7 vowel phonemes. eu /ɨ/ may be treated as a hard counterpart of i /i/: mi ni pi ti ci ki bi di gi fi vi are read as mji nji pji tji cji kji bji dji gji fji vji. si zi li are an exception: they're pronounced [ɕi ʑi ɲi].
