Wom ([w̃ɔ̃̀m][2]), or Perema, is a Leko languageofNigeria.
Consonants are:
| m | n | [ŋ] | ||||
| b | d | ɟ | ɡ | ɡb ~ ɡʷ | ||
| p | t | c | k | kp ~ kʷ | (ʔ) | |
| f v | s z | ʃ ʒ | x | (h) | ||
| r | ||||||
| l | j | w |
/ŋ/, and only /ŋ/, appears geminate. /ʔ/ is rare, perhaps borrowed. /h/ is known from one word, not borrowed.
Vowels are /i e ɛ a ə ɔ o u/. All may be doubled, but there are no long vowels. /a/ is neutralized to /ə/ in all but final position.
Tone is probably high, low, and falling, as in Chamba Leko.
