Comments:

Wahgi is spoken in the Central Highlands of
Papua New Guinea. It is analyzed as having word-level
high, low and rising tone patterns and also stress
(Phillips 1976). The i/I contrast seems marginal and may
depend on tone. Laterals do not occur word-initially and
are voiceless fricatives or affricates finally; Phillips
reports them as varying with voiced fricatives medially.
Ladefoged, Cochran and Disner (1977) report voiced lateral
approximants in medial position.
