Golin (also Gollum, Gumine) is a Papuan language of Papua New Guinea.

Phonology

Vowels

Diphthongs that occur are IPA|/ɑi ɑu ɔi ui/. The consonants IPA|/l n/ can also be syllabic.

Consonant

IPA|/bʷ ɡʷ/ are treated as single consonants by Bunn & Bunn (1970), but as combinations of IPA|/b/ + IPA|/w/, IPA|/ɡ/ + IPA|/w/ by Evans et al. (2005).

Two consonants appear to allow free variation in their realisations: IPA| [s] varies with IPA| [ʃ] , and IPA| [l] with IPA| [ɬ] .

IPA|/n/ assimilates to IPA| [ŋ] before IPA|/k/ and IPA|/ɡ/.

Tone

Golin is a tonal language, distinguishing high, mid, and low tone.
