Sketch Phonology of Me’enit

This study attempted to provide a descriptive account of the sketch phonology of Me’enit (Me’en, as some scholars name the language). The method used mainly in the study is qualitative, in which various linguistic data are collected from the native speakers and analyzed categorically. Accordingly, the various phonetic and phonological aspects of the target language are thoroughly identified and described. In the language, the consonant phonemes are thought to be twenty seven and the vowel phonemes are seven as clearly discussed in the study. Phonotactic aspects, such as consonant cluster, vowel length, and consonant gemination and syllable structures are other elements presented. The study, at last, mentions some basic lexical items of Me’enit. Accordingly, Me’enit has three open and three closed syllables which have thirteen types of structures.
