Realization and distribution of some Kamtok vowels

A number of processes have contributed to the building of an autonomous sound system in Kamtok. Similar processes have been discussed by Simo Bobda in his study of aspects of Cameroon English phonology. As far as Kamtok vowel sounds are concerned, these processes entail the following: (a) the restructuring of the vowel system; (b) the non-reduction of vowels in unstressed position; (c) restrictions in the distribution of certain vowel sounds.
