Comments:

San Francisco del Mar dialect. Huave is spoken
in southeastern coastal areas of Oaxaca, Mexico. "Dental"
consonants are palatalized before front vowels or glides;
word-final palato-alveolars are analyzed by Suarez (1975)
as followed by a semi-vowel. Huave has a two-level tone
system with little functional load. Vowels can be long
and short.
