<b>Description:</b>
 
Guruntum is a Chadic language spoken by about 15,000 people (as of 1993) in Nigeria.
Guruntum is a West Chadic language of the B subgroup.
Major dialects include Kuuku, Gayar, Mbaaru, Dooka, Gar and Karakara.
Guruntum contrasts long and short forms for all vowels except for /ɨ/. In addition, two nasalized vowel phonemes exist: {{IPA|/ũː/ /ãː/.
There are two diphthongs, /ai/ and /au/.
/r/ is realized as a flap intervocalically before back vowels; elsewhere it is a trill.
Guruntum has four tones: high, low, rising (low-high) and falling (high-low).<i>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/index.html?curid=7122479 ..... full article at Wikipedia]</i></td></tr>
