Notes: | Bugenhagen, Robert D., 1995. A grammar of Mangap-Mbula: An Austronesian language of Papua New Guinea. Canberra: Pacific Linguistics. (Pacific Linguistics C-101) Bugenhagen, Salme & Robert D. Bugenhagen, 2007. Ro Ta Ipiyooto Sua Mbula Uunu: Mbula-English Dictionary. Ukarumpa: Summer Institute of Linguistics, Papua New Guinea Branch. Some cognates are less obvious than they might be because the language has/had a vowel harmony rule that operates from right to left. | |
Problems: | There are complications in the historical phonology that result in an unusual (for Oceanic languages) contrast between voiced oral and voice prenasalised stops. | |
