The Gula Iro language (autonym ''kùláál'') is a Bua language spoken by some 3,500 people (in 1991) north and east of Lake Iro in southern Chad, between the Bola and Salamat rivers. It has four dialects, according to Pairault: *350 ''(unicode:páṭóól)'', the northernmost and the least comprehensible to speakers of the other dialects, spoken in and around Badi; *2,000 ''(unicode:pòŋààl)'', by the north shore of the lake, spoken in and around Boum Kabir, Boum Sarher, and Tordjigel; *730 ''(unicode:tɩ́ààlà)'', spoken east and south of the lake, including Kouré, Bouni, Tormorhal, and Masidjanga; *200 ''(unicode:tííṭààl)'', the easternmost, spoken in various villages west of Tamba; to which Ethnologue adds a fifth, 170 Korintal, spoken in Tieou.〔 Gula Iro is very closely related to Zan Gula and Bon Gula, but they are not mutually comprehensible. ==Sounds== The consonants, in with their orthography, are: The vowels are: a, e, i, o, u, ɛ, ɩ, ɔ, ʋ. Nasalization (only on a, e, o) and length are both contrastive, and diphthongs can be formed. Tone is phonemic; each vowel must carry high or low tone. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gula Iro language」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
