Ethnologue code(s): bjbThis language has a quantity-insensitive stress system.
Primary stress pattern
SPC: 3R
In words of three or more syllables, primary stress falls on the antepenultimate syllable.
SPC: 1L
In words of two or fewer syllables, primary stress falls on the initial syllable.
Secondary stress pattern
SPC: None

Finite State Acceptors - Cora Pattern
The format for the acceptors below is start states, final states, and transitions.
The labels indicate the syllable weight and level of stress.
For example, w0.s2 means a syllable of weight 0 with primary stress; w1.s1 means a
syllable of weight 1 with secondary stress and so on.

Stress Pattern Generator
In order to use the Stress Pattern Generator, enter a string of 0s (zeroes) delimited by spaces in the box below, each 0 represents one syllable of the word
Example input:
A three syllable word would be represented as "0 0 0".
