Kalanguya-a fricativeless language (except h)
I'm thankful that Kalanguya has almost no fricatives (f, v, s, z etc.) and no r at all:-)!!! It does have h, which is a voiceless glottal fricative (and I forgot about it being a fricative at all earlier). It made it easier when I wrote my phonology paper for Field Methods, and I think it's kind of cute and more interesting that way:-).
