What it does
PHOIBLE collects phonological inventories from source documents and databases into a searchable comparative resource.
Inspect the source record when two inventories for a language disagree. PHOIBLE explicitly retains such source differences, making the bibliographic context essential. Compare inventories as documented analyses rather than assuming one universal phoneme count for a language.
