Comments:

Yessan-Mayo is spoken upriver from Ambunti, East
Sepik Province, Papua New Guinea. Stress is initial except
when /a/ occurs in a subsequent syllable and attracts
stress to that syllable. Vowel allophones are very
variable. Rounded allophones of central vowels occur
before and after /w/ and after labialized velars. Fronted
allophones occur contiguous to /i/ and, often, with
bilabials.
