speaking of -tl

[david sanchez]

> Does anyone know how the Kwakiutl pronounce their -tl?

Maddieson (Patterns of sound, 1984) gives the following list
of languages with lateral affricates:

Voiceless lateral:    Haida, Tlingit, Chipewyan, Nootka, Squamish, Navaho,
Wintu, Quileute.
Voiceless aspirated lateral:    Chipewyan, Kwakw'ala (Kwakiutl)
Palatalized voiceless lateral:    Kabardian!!!!
voiced lateral:    Haida, Tlingit

This seems to indicate that /tl/ in Kwakiutl is a pulmonic egressive
voiceless
aspirated lateral affricate.
