Cèmuhî language
Cèmuhî (Camuhi, Camuki, Tyamuhi, Wagap) is an Oceanic language spoken on the island of New Caledonia, in the area of Poindimié, Koné, and Touho.Cèmuhî was studied by the French linguist Jean-Claude Rivierre [fr].[2] Rivierre analyzes the contrasts of Cèmuhî along three emic categories: nasal, semi-nasal (i.e. prenasalized), and oral consonants.[2] He uses the established term “labiovelar” (reproduced in the table) for what can be described more exactly as labialized consonants.[3] Like its neighbour Paicî, Cèmuhî is one of the few Austronesian languages which have developed contrastive tone.
