Comments:

Gommu dialect. All consonants except /h/ occur
geminate and all vowels appear long and short. The
retroflex consonants are not the sublaminal type found
most commonly in Dravidian languages but are apical
postalveolar. Tyler's vowel descriptions seem sometimes
at variance with the choice of symbols for transcription:
the low back vowel might be rounded.
