Comments:

Maxakali is spoken in northeastern Minas Gerais
state, Brazil. Prenasalized stops, except the velar one,
lose their stop component before nasalized vowels. The
voiceless affricate is often just a fricative.
Syllable-final consonants can be replaced by a "cognate
vowel" especially when followed by a homorganic consonant.
