Comments:

Atta dialect. Mambila is spoken on and near the
Mambila plateau straddling the Nigeria-Cameroon border.
Perrin & Hill (1969) analyze the tone system as consisting
of four level tones which can combine to form two rising,
two falling, and one rise-fall contour on monosyllables.
A form of vowel harmony restricts sequences of vowels in
disyllables. Any vowel except /a/ can follow itself; only
/e/ follows /a/. Also /a/ can follow /i,e,u/, /e/ can
follow /i,u/ and /i/ can follow /u/. Vowels are nasalized
after /h/.
