Sumerian

The Sumerian vowel and consonant inventory generally is Thomsen's (1984) notation; where different, Thomsen's notation follows each vowel or consonant in braces):



a, â {a} (/a:/),

ê {e} (/e:/),

i, î {i} (/i:/),

U {u} (/o:/),

u, û {u} (/u:/),

ü {u} (/ü:/),

b, u (/w/), g[~]² {g[~]}, m, p^(h) {p};

d, s, S ("emphatic", inferior dotted s), š, n, l, t^(h) {t}, z (/ts/ [and /dz/?]);

g, h (/x/), g[~]⁴ {g/g~}, š² {š}, n² {n}, (n)g([~])³ {g/g[~]/ng}, k^(h) {k}, k^(h)3 {k}, (n)k^(h)2 {k};

i (/j/) {i}, r, l² {l}





I remain unconvinced of the existence of a dr-phoneme in Sumerian.
