Comments:

Fe?fe? is spoken in the Haut-Nkam department of
Cameroun. The inventory given corresponds to the
underlying segments proposed by Hyman (1972). Voiced stops
only appear as such following nasal prefixes; elsewhere
they are voiceless stops or voiced sonorants (/d/->[l]).
Vowels have generally more open variants in closed
syllables. As with segments, the tones of Fe?fe? show
considerable surface variation which can be reduced to a
small number of underlying contrast, essentially high and
low levels.
