<b>Description:</b>
 
Abau is a Papuan language spoken in the Sandaun Province of Papua New Guinea, primarily along the shores of the Sepik River.
In 2002, there were estimated to be between 4,500 and 5,000 speakers, and this number does not appear to have declined since the first accurate count in the 1970s.
/ə/ appears only in medial positions.
/r/ has several allophones: word-initially, it is [l], after /n/ it is [d], [r] intervocalically, and [t] or [ɺ] word-finally. /h/ becomes [ç] before /i/ and [ɸ] before /u/. Plosives are voiced when following nasal consonants.<i>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/index.html?curid=717075 ..... full article at Wikipedia]</i></td></tr>
