Phonology
Kuljaljau Paiwan has 23–24 consonants (/h/ is found only in loanwords, and /ʔ/ is uncommon) and 4 vowels (Ferrell 1982:7). Unlike many other Formosan languages that have merged many Proto-Austronesian phonemes, Paiwan preserves most Proto-Austronesian phonemes and is thus highly important for reconstruction purposes.
The four Paiwan vowels are /i ə a u/. /ə/ is written e in the literature.
| Labial | Alveolar | Retroflex | Palatal | Velar | Uvular | Glottal | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nasal | m | n | ŋ | ||||
| Plosive | p b | t d | ɖ | c ɟ | k ɡ | q | ʔ |
| Affricate | ts | ||||||
| Fricative | v | s z | (h) | ||||
| Trill | r | ||||||
| Approximant | w | l | ʎ j |
| Labial | Alveolar | Retroflex | Palatal | Velar | Uvular | Glottal | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nasal | m | n | ŋ ⟨ng⟩ | ||||
| Plosive | p b | t d | ɖ ⟨dr⟩ | c ⟨tj⟩ ɟ ⟨dj⟩ | k ɡ | q ⟨q⟩ | ʔ ⟨ʼ⟩ |
| Affricate | ts ~ tʃ ⟨c⟩ | ||||||
| Fricative | v | s z | (h) | ||||
| Rhotic | r ~ ɣ ⟨r⟩ | ||||||
| Approximant | ʋ ⟨w⟩ | ɭ ⟨l⟩ | ʎ ⟨lj, ɬ⟩ j ⟨y⟩ | ||||
In Northern Paiwan the palatal consonants have been lost, though this is recent and a few conservative speakers maintain them as allophonic variants (not as distinct phonemes). /ʔ/ is robust, unlike in other Paiwan dialects where its status is uncertain, as it derives from *q.
| Labial | Alveolar | Retroflex | Palatal | Velar | Glottal | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nasal | m | n | ŋ | |||
| Plosive | p b | t d | ɖ | k ɡ | ʔ | |
| Affricate | ts | |||||
| Fricative | v | s z | (h) | |||
| Trill~ Fricative |
r | |||||
| Approximant | w | l ~ ʎ | ɭ | j |
| Labial | Alveolar | Retroflex | Palatal | Velar | Uvular | Glottal | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nasal | m | n | ŋ | ||||
| Plosive | p b | t d | ɖ | c ɟ | k ɡ | q | ʔ |
| Affricate | ts | ||||||
| Fricative | v | s z | ɣ ~ r | (h) | |||
| Approximant | w | ɭ | ʎ j |
Younger speakers tend to pronounce /ʎ/ as [l]. Fricative [ɣ] is characteristic of Mudan village; elsewhere is Southern Paiwan it tends to be a trill [r], though it still varies [r ~ ɣ ~ ʁ ~ h]. Word-initial *k has become /ʔ/.
