Tigre phonology #
This file defines the 26 consonants and seven vowels of Tigre, as in PHOIBLE's inventory 576, as segments named by their IPA symbols, with feature values from the PHOIBLE chart, and the verbal roots of [FL26]'s Tigre paradigms as roots of those segments. The inventory's coronal stops and nasal are dental. The vowels are the six full qualities and the weak [ɨ] that Faust and Lampitelli give Tigre as they give Tigrinya: inventory 576 instead lists the full vowels as long and gives its two central vowels, ə and ɜ, the same feature values. Faust and Lampitelli write the ejectives with a superscript ʔ or ʕ; their kˀ is /kʼ/, their tˀ and tˁ are /tʼ/, and their sˁ is /tsʼ/, the inventory's one ejective sibilant.
