Consonantal and Vocalic Phonemes of Kumzari.

Kumzari is one of the lesser-known minority languages spoken in the Sultanate of Oman. Speakers of Kumzari language make up a tribal community of a few thousand members living largely in a small coastal mountain village called 'Kumzar' in addition to a small number of speakers scattered over the Musandam Peninsula in the northern part of Oman. Although it is a threatened language, scholarly work done on Kumzari is either outdated or shows scanty
concern to the different areas of Kumzari grammar. In view of that, this study, as part of a more comprehensive study, aims to establish the consonantal and vocalic sound system of
Kumzari
