Other comments: Southern Kam or Southern Dong has borrowed numerals from Chinese with phonological adaptation now. Southern Dong is spoken by 1,000,000 speakers in

Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region and Yuping autonomous county, Guizhou province, China.

Consonants:

    In regard to consonants, we have just noted that < b, d. ɠ were used for unaspirated
stops and as in Chinese Standard Romanization Hanyu Pinyin <p, t, k > represent the
aspirated forms. And in a manner like Hanyu Pinyin, <j, q, ny, x, y, ng, bi, mi, li, gu,
ku, ngu> correspond respectively to / ȶ, ȶh, ȵ, ɕ, j, ŋ, pj, mj, lj, kw, khw, ŋw/.
More recently, speakers at the non standard locations with retained uvular stops have
taken to writing <kg> for q- qh-/, although the official orthography is based on a king
of Kam that dose not possess uvulars.

Below is the consonant writing system and its phonetic value.

Stops with Secondary articulationː

    Palatalizationː   phj <pi>, pj<bi>, mj<mi>; thj<ti>, lj<li>

     Labializationː     khw <ku >, kw<gu >, ŋw<ngu>

Vowelsː

      Only the vowel /a/ and only in CVC/CVVC syllables contrasts for
vowel length. To indicate the long vowel <a> is used and for the short
vowel <ae>, which is usually realized as [ɐ], is used. Thus, for example,
[kɐm¹] 'Kam' is written Gaeml, where the -l represents the first tone.
Other examples areː
nyac 'you sg.' [ȵa²]; leec 'language' [le²]; and bas 'paternal aunt' [pa³].
Below is the vowel writing

system and its phonetic valueː

aa <a>, ɐ<ae>, ə<e>, e<ee>, i<i>, o<o>, u <u>

Southern Kam has nine tones:

Tone 1: tone value 55 or 35; tone 2: tone value 11 / 212; tone 3: tone value
24 / 323, or 13; tone 4; tone value 31; value 5: value 53 or 453; tone 6;
tone value 33; tone 7: tone value 55 or 35; tone 8: tone value 21; tone nine:
tone value 24 / 323 or 13.
