Phonology

The present survey of Kamtok phonological features is far from exhaustive. It focuses particularly on Kamtok sounds, the distribution of these sounds in speech and on certain prosodic features such as stress and tone.

Although the language is treated here as an autonomous system, the description nevertheless relates its distinctive sound features to those of English and its other source languages, whenever possible, in an effort to show how Kamtok has come to achieve its autonomy.
