Comments:

Southern Sierra Miwok used to be spoken in
Mariposa county, California. In the 1960's there were
about 20 speakers living. Stops vary between voiced and
voiceless intervocalically. Consonants may be long -
Freeland (1951) says geminates only occur medially but
Broadbent (1965) indicates they also occur finally.
