Tera is a Chadic language spoken in north-eastern Nigeria in the north and eastern parts of Gombe State and Borno State.
Vowel length contrasts are neutralized in monosyllabic words with no coda consonants.
All vowels but /a/ and /aː/ are more open in closed syllables. such as in [ɮɛp] ('to plait') and [xʊ́r] ('to cook soup'). /a/ and /aː/ is more open when following palatalized consonants.
Diphthongs, which have the same length as long vowels, consist of a non-high vowel and a high vowel:
Tera is a tonal language, distinguishing high, mid and low tone. Tone is not indicated orthographically since no minimal trios exist; minimal pairs can be distinguished by context.
The first publication in Tera was Labar Mbarkandu nu Yohanna Bula Ki, a translation of the Gospel of John, which established an orthographic system. In 2004, this orthographic system was revised.<i>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/index.html?curid=5756836 ..... full article at Wikipedia]</i></td></tr>
