SIL Cameroon. http://silcam.org/download.php?stid=&amp;folder=documents&amp;file=Nyokon_notes_phonology-Lovestrand_2011.pdf.</p> <p>A PDF copy of the publication is included in the deposit [Notes on Nyokon phonology - Lovestrand (October 2011).pdf]</p> <p>Rough phonetic transcriptions and annotations of the word lists are in SML format in the file: [Nyokon-dekereke.txt]</p> <p>This file was designed in the freeware Dekereke program, available online at: https://casali.canil.ca/</p> <p>The audio recordings can be divided into four categories.&nbsp;</p> <p>1. 1700-item word list</p> <p>Files named with a range of four-digit numbers, e.g. 0001-0005.wav, are the original audio files. The numbers refer to the &quot;SIL comparatige African wordlist&quot;. Not all 1700 items were elicted and recorded.&nbsp;</p> <p>Roberts, James &amp; Keith Snider. 2006.

Individual words for Dekereke&nbsp;</p> <p>Files name with a single four-digit number followed by an English gloss, e.g. 0001 body, are audio clips taken from the origial recordings so that the clips can be listened to in the Dekereke program.&nbsp;<br> Not all words were clipped for this purpose. The recordings of many words are only availabel in the original recordigns.</p> <p>3. Contrastive Pairs&nbsp;</p> <p>Files named ContrastivePairs followed by a number are files that were recorded later in the analysis to check on assumed and suspected phonemic contrast.
