 Similarly, although differing in vocabulary, Murrinh-Patha and the moribund Marringarr language share syntax structure.The vowel system is very simple, with four vowels.Murrinh-Patha has a “long and flat” array of consonants like most Australian Aboriginal phonologies, with six places of articulation (bilabial, lamino-dental, alveolar, post-alveolar retroflex, palatal and velar), but only a limited range of contrastive manners of articulation.
