Comments:

Western dialect. Ejagham is spoken in an area
along the Nigeria-Cameroon border near Ikom. There are
three level tones and three contours (high-low, high-mid,
low-high), at least on the surface. There are few roots
with contrast of /d/ and flap /r/, or /b/ and bilabial
fricative; usually these are predictable variants.
