Golin Language (gvf)

Also Known As: Gollum,Gumine Description: Golin (also Gollum, Gumine) is a Papuan language of Papua New Guinea. Diphthongs that occur are /ɑi ɑu ɔi ui/. The consonants /l n/ can also be syllabic. /bʷ ɡʷ/ are treated as single consonants by Bunn & Bunn (1970), but as combinations of /b/ + /w/, /ɡ/ + /w/ by Evans et al. (2005). Two consonants appear to allow free variation in their realisations: [s] varies with [ʃ], and [l] with [ɬ]. /n/ assimilates to [ŋ] before /k/ and /ɡ/. Golin is a tonal language, distinguishing high, mid, and low tone...... full article at Wikipedia Location of Golin Language Speakers http://llmap.org/languages/gvf/static_map.png?width=400&height=300&kilroywashere=.png Rosetta Document Collection Detailed Description: 1 (download) (browse) 2 (download) (browse) Genesis Translation: 1 (download) (browse) Grammar: 1 (download) (browse) Miscellaneous: 1 (download) (browse) Phonology: 1 (download) (browse) Vernacular Text: 1 (download) (browse)
