Correction to PHOIBLE entry for Fwâi #374

Open bambooforest opened 6 months ago

bambooforest commented 6 months ago

From Alexander Elias:

there is an error in PHOIBLE, which is inherited from UPSID and reproduced in WALS, where the New Caledonian language Fwâi is mixed up with Po-Ai, a Tai language spoken in China. The phoneme inventory listed as Fwâi and geolocated in New Caledonia actually represents Po-Ai (and the source listed is the Handbook of Comparative Tai). Perhaps you already know this and can't change it due to the coding guidelines, but I thought I would let you know.
