Wiyot Orthography[edit]

I've noticed that Wiyot's orthography in the article does not match the the current orthography used by the Wiyot Tribal Government. Under the Wiyot Tribe's orthography, the IPA tables in this article's Phonology section would look like the ones below:

Consonants:

		Bilabial	Alveolar		Postalveolar or palatal	Velar		Glottal
		Bilabial	central	lateral	Postalveolar or palatal	plain	labialized	Glottal
Plosive	voiceless	b [p]	d [t]			g [k]	q [kʷ]	' [ʔ]
Plosive	aspirated	p [pʰ]	t [tʰ]			k [kʰ]	qh [kʷʰ]
Affricate	voiceless		ts [ts]		j [tʃ]
Affricate	aspirated		tsh [tsʰ]		ch [tʃʰ]
Fricative			s [s]	lh [ɬ]	sh [ʃ]			h [h]
Nasal		m [m]	n [n]
Flap			rr [ɾ]
Approximant		v [β]	r [ɹ]	l [l]	y [j]	gh [ɣ]	w [w]

Vowels:

	Front	Central	Back
High	i [i]		ou [u]
Low	e [e]	u [a]	a [ɑ]

This orthography should be included in the article alongside Teeter's practical orthography due to its usage by the Wiyot Tribe's government and in language revitalization materials provided by the Wiyot Tribe. PKMNLives (talk) 02:07, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
