Comments:

Sedang is spoken in Gia Lai-Cong Tum Province in
Vietnam.
Smith reports highly restricted nasalized
vowels, after /h,?/ only. There are complex relationships
between laryngealization of vowels, allowable final
consonants and vowel diphthongization. In closed
syllables, laryngealized vowels occur only before /j,w/
and nasals. These syllables could be interpreted as
terminating with laryngealized consonants, but in open
syllables plain and laryngealized vowels contrast and both
differ from final -? and -h syllables.
