Kuku Yalanji
The grammar and phonology that ground the Yalanji pronunciation bridge.
Elisabeth Patz wrote A Grammar of the Kuku Yalanji Language of North Queensland (2002, Pacific Linguistics), the reference description of the language. Its account of the sound system and rules — final-/y/ deletion, compounding and reduplication — directly grounds how the app converts Yalanji spelling for synthesis.
