**Language family**: Austronesian / Malayo-Polynesian / Western Malayo-Polynesian / Sulawesi / South Sulawesi / Bugis |
|
|
|
|
|
* The Bugis language is also known as Buginese and is spoken throughout Sulawesi, Indonesia. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Not all sources agree on the phonemic inventory of Bugis. I have chosen to include the phonemes that the majority of the sources agreed on. The differences, however, are listed below: |
|
|
- @jaya2018 additionally includes /tʃ/ and /dʒ/ but omits /c/, /ɟ/, and /ɲ/. |
|
|
- @talaohu2019 additionally includes /f/ and /ɸ/. |
|
|
- @wolff2010 omits /ʔ/ and /j/. |
|
|
- @valls2014 additionally includes /ʃ/ and /ʒ/. |
|
|
- @pedroscaballero2014 lists /ɾ/ instead of /r/ and omits /ʔ/. |
|
|
* Additionally, @pedroscaballero2014 states that the phonemes presented as /c/ and /ɟ/ may actually be /tʃ/ and /dʒ/ (p. 10). This may explain why @jaya2018 includes /tʃ/ and /dʒ/ instead of /c/ and /ɟ/. |
|
|
* According to @valls2014, /h/ is only found in Indonesian loanwords (p. 8). However, due to the significant influence, it is recognized as a phoneme of Bugis. |
|
|
* Geminate consonants /pp/, /bb/, /tt/, /dd/, /kk/, /ss/, /mm/, /nn/, /ll/, /cc/, and /ɟɟ/ are constrastive [@valls2014, p. 9; @pedroscaballero2014, p. 8]. |
|
|
* @talaohu2019 argues that instead of two phonemes /k/ and /ɡ/, [ɡ] is actually an allophone of /k/ (pp. 31-32). However, @pedroscaballero2014 presents minimal pairs for these phonemes, so I will treat them as distinct (p. 11). |

|
* Vowels /i/, /e/, /a/, /o/, and /u/ also have long counterparts, which are indicated by duplicate graphemes [@valls2014, p. 8]. However, vowel length is not actually contrastive in Bugis, so I have chosen to treat this feature as allophonic and transcribe such instances of long vowels as short in the rules. |
|
|
* Though sequences of consecutive vowels occur in Bugis, they are not always realized as complex phonemes [@pedroscaballero2014, p. 6]. Therefore, I have not accounted for them as diphthongs in the rules. |
|
|
* The status of schwa as a phoneme in Bugis is somewhat unclear. All sources recognize /ə/ as a distinct phoneme. However, according to @pedroscaballero2014, [ə] may be a possible allophone of both /a/ and /e/ in unstressed syllables (p. 7). It is important to note that it is not uncommon for a phoneme of a language to also be an allophone, so this lenition of /a/ and /e/ is most likely coincidence rather than evidence against schwa being a phoneme. There do however appear to be words in which /ə/ appears in stressed syllables [@pedroscaballero2014, p. 7], which would serve as evidence against the language having a truly reduced phonemic vowel. Furthermore, @valls2014 describes this mid central vowel as "rounded," which suggests it could actually be /ɵ/ or /ɞ/ (p. 12). Based on this, I have chosen to represent this mid central vowel as /ɵ/ rather than /ə/. |

* Syllables in Bugis are of the type (C)(C)V(C) [@pedroscaballero2014, p. 13]. |
|
|
- In syllables with a CC onset, the second consonant is often glide /j/. |
|
|
- The coda is predominantly either a nasal or /ʔ/. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Stops tend to vary freely with their fricative (or flap) counterparts [@valls2014, pp. 11-12]: |
|
|
- /b/ varies freely with [β] intervocalically and in onset position |
|
|
- /p/ varies freely with [f] and [ɸ] |
|
|
- /d/ varies freely with [ɾ] and [ð] intervocalically |
|
|
- /ɡ/ varies freely with [ɣ] intervocalically |
|
|
* According to @jaya2018, /p/, /b/, /t/, /d/, /k/, and /h/ are generally realized as [ʔ] word-finally (pp. 57-58). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* /ŋ/ assimilates to the place of the following consonant [@valls2014, p. 12]. |
|
|
* All vowels have nasal allophones that surface when in proximity to nasals (ibid.). |
|
|
* Nasals /m/, /n/, and most likely /ɲ/ are often realized as [ŋ] word-finally (@jaya2018, p. 59). |
|
|
* /s/ may be realized as [θ] [@pedroscaballero2014, p. 10]. |
|
|
* /w/ may be realized as [β] [@pedroscaballero2014, p. 11]. |
