Phonology
Vowels Tuscarora apparently has eight oral vowels, /i ɛ a u iː ɛː aː uː/, and two nasal vowels, /ə̃ ə̃ː/. Nasal vowels are customarily indicated with an ogonek, long vowels with a following colon, <:>, and /ɛ/ (which may actually be [æ]) with <e>. An oral vowel is a vowel that is produced by air that escapes through the mouth only (as opposed to nasal vowels, in which air also goes out through the nose). ...
A nasal vowel is a vowel that is produced with a lowering of the velum so that air escapes both through the mouth and the nose. ...
Ogonek (Polish for little tail; In Lithuanian it is nosinė which literally means nasal) is a diacritic hook placed under the lower right corner of a vowel in the Latin alphabet used in Polish (letters ą, ę), Lithuanian (ą, ę, į, ų), Navajo and Western Apache (ą, ąą, ę, ęę, į, įį, , ), Chiricahua and Mescalero (ą, ąą, ę, ęę, į, įį, ų, ųų) and Tutchone. ...

There may also be the phonemes /b/ and /f/, although they probably occur only in loan words. /ʧ/ is commonly spelled <č>. <y> represents /j/. The phonemic consonant cluster /sj/ is realized as a postalveolar fricative [ʃ]. A stop or plosive or occlusive is a consonant sound produced by stopping the airflow in the vocal tract. ...
Note: This page contains phonetic information presented in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) using Unicode. ...
A nasal consonant is produced when the velum—that fleshy part of the palate near the back—is lowered, allowing air to escape freely through the nose. ...
In phonetics and phonology, a sonorant is a member of a class of speech sounds that are continuants produced without turbulent airflow in the vocal tract. ...
Postalveolar (or palato-alveolar) consonants are consonants articulated with the tip of the tongue between the alveolar ridge (the place of articulation for alveolar consonants) and the palate (the place of articulation for palatal consonants). ...
