This book presents a descriptive phonology of Ngamo - a member of West Chadic 'A' branch of Chadic language family of the Afroasiatic Phylum - spoken in some areas of Darazo Local Government of Bauchi State, in some areas of Dukku and Nafada Local Governments of Gombe State and in some areas of Gulani, Fika and Fune Local Governments of Yobe State, northeastern Nigeria. The book is an attempt by the author to capture relevant phonological aspects peculiar to Gudi and Yaya dialects of the Ngamo language which are spoken in the eastern and western parts of Ngamo area, respectively. The book is divided into ten chapters which covers Ngamo consonant and vowel phonemes, Ngamo consonant and vowel distribution, syllable variations, tone polarity and tone correspondence, phonological process and allophonic realization. In conclusion, the book states some differences and similarities in Ngamo dialects. Finally, the book presents some lexical items in respect of Gudi and Yaya varieties of the Ngamo language.
