The Wari’ language (also Orowari, Wari, Pacaá Novo, Pacaás
Novos, Pakaa Nova, Pakaásnovos) is the sole remaining vibrant
language of the Chapacuran language family of the Brazilian-
Bolivian border region of the Amazon. It has about 1300-1800
speakers, also called Wari’. Wari’ has two phonetic oddities:
its "skewed" vowel inventory, and the voiceless dental
bilabially trilled affricate [t͡ʙ̥], which is only reported from
four other languages, and is only phonemic in Wari' and two
neighbouring languages. Wari’ has words ending in consonant
clusters mʔ and nʔ. These have been analysed as single sounds,
but apparently only to avoid complicating the Wari’ syllable
structure. Vowels are generally expected to be somewhat evenly
distributed in vowel space (that is, spread out rather than
bunched up when represented on a vowel chart). Additionally,
when a language has few vowels, they will normally be unrounded
when front and rounded when back. Usually rounded front vowels
and unrounded back vowels are only found in l
