Comments:

Dumo dialect. Vanimo is spoken in an area on
the northern coast of Papua New Guinea near the Irian Jaya
border. Ross (1980) describes it as having 3 "tones":
"high", "long", and "toneless". Long tone is apparently
not perceptibly longer "because Vanimo has strict
syllable-timing" but it has a mid onset. The
palato-alveolar stop has affricate and approximant
variants. Ross considers it posible that nasalized vowels
could be allophonic but conditioning is not understood.
