Dialects

Musa Kasim et al. (1981) give five main dialects of Gorontalo: east Gorontalo, Limboto, Gorontolo City, west Gorontalo, and Tilamuta.

Phonology

Consonants

Gorontalo consonants

		labial	alveolar		palatal	velar	glottal
nasal		m	n		ɲ	ŋ
plosive	voiceless	p	t	d̠	c	k	ʔ
	voiced	b	d		ɟ	ɡ
	implosive	ɓ	ɗ
sonorant	plain	w	r		j		h
	lateral		l

Consonant sequences include NC (homorganic nasal–plosive), where C may be /b d t d̠ ɟ ɡ k/. Elsewhere, /b d/ are relatively rare and only occur before high vowels. /d̠/, written ⟨ḓ⟩ in the literature, is a laminal post-alveoral coronal stop that is indeterminate as to voicing. The phonemic status of [ʔ] is unclear; if [VʔV] is interpreted as vowel sequences /VV/, then this contrasts with long vowels (where the two V's are the same) and vowel sequences separated by linking glides (where the two V's are different).

Vowels

Gorontalo has five vowels.[3]

Gorontalo vowels
