Comments:

Nyah Kur is spoken in Thailand in some
communities along the eastern margin of the Central Plain
(Chao Praya basin). It has a "register" system involving
primarily phonation contrasts, represented here as a
plain/breathy distinction in vowels. All vowels may appear
long and short. A final consonant described by Diffloth
(1984) as "an s-like sound" and transcribed as a voiceless
palatal approximant has been interpreted as a palatal
fricative. Thongkum (1984) transcribes it as a devoiced
palatal stop, but it contrasts with /-c/.
