metadata.value: The paper presents a typological overview of interior vowels in complete [ATR] systems of the
  Macro-Sudan Belt. Interior vowels are defined as vowel qualities within the interior regions of
  the vowel space and include front rounded vowels, all non-low central vowels and unrounded
  non-low back vowels. Complete [ATR] systems are defined as those systems where there is
  a cross-height contrast for the feature [ATR] (advanced tongue root) for non-low peripheral
  vowels and cross-height harmony both in static patterns (vowel co-occurence restrictions
  within morphemes) and dynamic patterns (restrictions within phonological domains comprising
  several morphemes). The study based on the sample of 35 languages of the Macro-
  Sudan Belt revealed three main types of interiority — allophonic, phonemic and epenthetic.
  These types are not sporadically distributed in terms of genetic affiliation and areal spreading
  of the languages. At least three clusters may be identified in the sample: (1) the Eastern Kru
  languages spoken in the Ivory Coast with numerous phonemic interior vowels specified for
  [ATR], (2) the Talodi languages of Sudan with one neutral interior vowel and (3) the North
  Guang languages with centralised allophones of front vowels appearing in interconsonantal
  position. The territory of Ghana and Togo occupied by North Guang languages also includes
  a number of languages from the sample which belong to other families and exhibit different
  types of interiority. This region appears to be particularly rich both in languages showing the
  co-occurrence of complete [ATR] systems with interior vowels and in interiority types.
