What this means for learners
Andoke and Moore share 21 sounds — roughly 49% of Moore's inventory overlaps with Andoke. Shared sounds are ones a speaker already knows from their native language and will generally produce and perceive accurately without explicit training.
The 22 sounds found only in Moore represent the greatest pronunciation challenge for Andoke speakers. The adult brain tends to map unfamiliar sounds onto the closest native equivalent — a process that produces the characteristic "accent" of a second-language speaker. Learning to hear and produce these sounds as distinct requires focused ear training, not just repetition.
Conversely, Andoke has 14 sounds not used in Moore. Native Moore speakers learning Andoke will face the mirror-image challenge with these sounds.
