Comments:

Lue is spoken in southern Yunnan, China, near
the common border of Myanmar (Burma) and Laos. The
language has six tones; high, mid and low level, mid-high
and low-mid rising, high falling. Vowels in syllables
closed by /p t k ?/ are short and these syllables may only
have H or M tone. Final [w] (found after unrounded vowels
only) is treated as an allophone of /v/. Final /j/ occurs
after non-front vowels only. Morev (1978) lists one
affricate (apparently [ts] at least before non-front
vowels); Li (1964) lists aspirated and unaspirated
"pre-palatal" affricates. Morev considers /kw, khw/ units,
Li (1964) treats them as initial clusters.
