<tr><td><b>Description:</b><br />
<br />
The Tonkawa language was spoken in Oklahoma, Texas, and New Mexico by the Tonkawa people. A language isolate, with no known related languages, Tonkawa is now extinct, and the members of the Tonkawa tribe now speak only English.<br />
Tonkawa has 10 vowels:<br />
Tonkawa has 15 consonants:<br />
An interesting feature of Tonkawan phonology is that the vowels in even-numbered syllables are reduced. That is, long vowels are shortened, while short vowels disappear.<br />
The orthography used on the Tonkawa Tribe's website is very similar to Americanist phonetic notation.<br />
Long vowels are indicated with a following middle dot . The affricate /ts/ is written as . The glottal stop /ʔ/ is written as either an apostrophe or with a superscript question mark . The palatal glide /j/ is written as .<br />
The phonemic orthography used in Hoijer's Tonkawa Texts is a later version of Americanist transcription. It uses a colon for long vowels and the traditional glottal stop symbol . some of the examples of it would be like salt it is called mummun and peper is mummunchicew<br />
The following text is the first four sentences of Coyote and Jackrabbit, from Hoijer's Tonkawa Texts.<br />
