Summary
	Describes phonology of the Yawa language (a Papuan language of Irian Jaya) in two papers. First paper (1986a) concerned the Sarawandori dialect on the south coast of Yapen Island. Second paper (1986b) concerned the Rosbori dialect on the north coast of Yapen. Latter dialect is virtually identical with dialects spoken in several other north-coast villages.
	Also includes the very large interior village of Ambaidiru (700 people) and its neighbor, Mambon. "We will call this dialect area the Central Dialect; it is the principal area targeted for the Scripture translation. The rest of this paper will concern this dialect."
