NigE Phonology

To date, notwithstanding some efforts, no representative corpus of spoken NigE is available. This means that despite a growing number of experimental and instrumental studies on various aspects of NigE phonology, most descriptions of NigE are impressionistic rather than based on empirical findings. Due to this lack of quantitative data and the great variability of NigE as a second language variety as described above, in the following only phonological tendencies can be described. Quantitative corroboration is eagerly awaited.
