Abstract
The systematic phonemes of the Hindi spoken in Suriname are described in terms of their distinctive features. The language appears to be more simply describable by use of a feature system including syllabic instead of vocalic. The feature consonantal is also found to be non-distinctive in this description. The necessity of a distinction between primary phonetic features (suchasconsonantal and vocalic) and primary systematic phonemic features (suchassyllabic) is suggested. Marginal phonemes of Sarnami Hindustani, reflecting characteristics of the Hindi of India, are briefly described.
