Parawen language

Parawen is a Papuan language of Papua New Guinea.

Parawen has a small phonemic inventory of nine consonants and three vowels.

An epenthetic vowel, generally /ɑ/ but /u/ if the preceding vowel is also /u/, which is usually inserted following a word-final consonant. /b/ is devoiced to [p] word-finally, even when an epenthetic vowel follows. /t/ is realised as [s] adjacent to /i/, and /d/ is [r] post-vocalically.
