Djapu dialect. Yolngu is spoken in north-east
Arnhem Land, Northern Territory, Australia. Stops have
both voiced and voiceless allophones but intervocalically
they are voiceless in the tape recording prepared by Rose
and Morphy, hence are interpreted as voiceless. Glottal
stops in final position are partially predictable but
contrasts occur. Alveolar consonants rarely occur
word-initially (and then mostly in loanwords); dental
consonants do not occur word-finally. Vowels in
word-initial syllables have contrastive length; single
following consonants after contrastively short vowels tend
to be long.
