// Akan Base Phonetic Rules
// ========================
// Phonetic rules for Akan (Twi/Fante).
// Spoken by approximately 12 million people in Ghana and
// Côte d'Ivoire.
//
// Akan features:
//   - Niger-Congo language family (Kwa branch)
//   - Tonal (2 level tones: high, low)
//   - 9 vowels with ATR harmony
//   - Labial-velar consonants (kp, gb, ŋm)
//   - Nasal vowels
//   - CV syllable structure
//
// Orthography:
//   - ɛ, ɔ for open vowels (+ATR)
//   - Nasalization often unmarked
//   - Tones marked with accent marks
//   - kp, gb for labial-velars
//   - ky, gy for palatalized velars
//
// Rule IDs: 13500-13599
