  Ivbiosakon, or Aoma, is an Edoid language of Edo State, Nigeria. The dialect names Ora and Emai are also used for the language.
  
  ## Phonology
  
  Aoma has a rather reduced system, compared to proto-Edoid, of seven vowels; these form two harmonic sets, /i e a o u/ and /i ɛ a ɔ u/.
  
  It has only one clearly phonemic nasal stop, /m/; [n] alternates with [l], depending on whether the following vowel is oral or nasal. (The other approximants, /ɹ j w h/, are also nasalized in this position: see Edo language for a similar situation.) The inventory is:
  
  | | Labial | Alveolar | Palatal | Velar | Labio-velar | Glottal |
  | - | - | - | - | - | - | - |
  | Nasal | m | l [n] | | | | |
  | Plosive | p b | t d | | k ɡ | k͡p ɡ͡b | |
  | Fricative | f v | s z | | x ɣ | | |
  | Trill | | r | | | | |
  | Approximant | | ɹ | j | | w | h |
