Wano language

Wano is a Baliem Valley language spoken by the Wano people in Puncak and Puncak Jaya regencies of the Indonesian province of Central Papua.

As well as the monophthongs described above, Wano also has seven diphthongs: /i̯a/, /ɛi̯/, /ai̯/, /au̯/, /ɔi̯/, /ɔu̯/, and /ui̯/.²

• The voiced plosives /b/ and /d/ are imploded to /ɓ/ and /ɗ/ when word-initially and intervocalically.²
• When a nasal occurs before /p/, /p/ becomes a prenasalized voiced plosive [ᵐb]. Similarly, when a nasal occurs before /t/ or /k/, they become, respectively, [ⁿd] and [ᵑɡ].²
• /t/ and /k/ intervocalically become /ɾ/ and /ɣ/.³
• /p/, /k/, /ɡ/, and /ɡ/'s allophone, [ᵑɡ] become labialized before /w/, with /ɡ/ becoming [ɣʷ].²
• The sequences /tj/ and /dj/ become the palatal fricatives /ç ʝ/.² However, this analysis more signifies the corresponding Dutch digraphs, since these have no morphological significance, and in the modern orthography these are written as ⟨c⟩ and ⟨j⟩.

Here is the orthography used by Willem Burung on his works. These are not necessarily separate letters.

Inalienable nouns could be pluralized by suffixing -i (after consonants) or -vi (after vowels), while alienable nouns do not (similar to Indonesian, where pluralization is optional).⁴ The inalienable plurals can be postposed with numerals (aburi kena "her two children").
