Re: Yonagu by Nancy - vowel systems
Yeah, for this sort of thing I'd say it makes sense to use things closer to the actual phonetic realization, instead of abstractions convenient for typesetting.

Re: Yonagu by Nancy - vowel systems
true. i'm used to phonemic representations that draw comparisons between the dialects and emphasise that it's the same vowel phonemically. For that matter I have heard very, very few speakers of any accent of English that have a proper back vowel there, although other accents are likely to have an opposition between something like [ʉ:] and something like [ʊ], which most scottish accents don't....
