Are there other consonantal contrasts we are overlooking? But is there no final /m/ in Mandarin? I suppose, /dim sum/, being food, is Cantonese. More to the point, can we get a good vowel spread with the limited lb set? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ WRITERS WANTED!
