| Long abstract | The chapter covers segmental and suprasegmental phonology, including syllable structure, epenthesis, consonant and vowel deletion, assimilation and stress. The discussion also tackles relevant questions from a cross-dialectal perspective such as the realisation of certain phonemes, the contrast between short vowels and certain suprasegmental features. |
