Drenjongke or Bhutia is a Trans-Himalayan language spoken in Sikkim. This paper presents the phonetics of the sound system of Drenjongke. In consonants, devoiced plosives and voiceless nasals are described, and for the vowels nasalised vowels and vowel length are further described. After a succinct description of tone and syllable structures, a Drenjongke version of the text ‘The North Wind and the Sun’ is presented. Recordings of all example words are available.
