Description:

Adzera (also spelled Atzera, Azera, Atsera, Acira) is an Austronesian language spoken by about 30,000 people in Morobe Province, Papua New Guinea. The diphthongs /ɑi ɑu/ occur, while other sequences of vowels are split over two syllables. /h/ occurs in only one word: the interjection hai "yes". The prenasalized consonants tend to lose prenasalization initially and after consonants. /tʃ ⁿtʃ/ are sometimes realized as [ts ⁿts], especially in codas.

J, o and z are used in some loanwords and names...... full article at Wikipedia
