Ticuna has many suprasegmental constrasts including 5 surface level tones, 4 surface contour tones, contrastive creaky voice, and contrastive nasality.

My transcriptions use a practical orthography which I created in order to type Ticuna using only ASCII characters.

The following tables show the equivalences between my practical orthography, the current official Ticuna orthography in Peru, and IPA.

Other relevant information about the practical orthography:
- I write surface tones and not underlying tones.
- Since the practical orthography is case sensitive, I try not to capitalize proper names.
- A vowel written multiple times with only one tone (e.g. Jeeeeee5a2ma4) means that the speaker drew out the vowel as part of the sentence prosody, not that the vowel is phonologically long.
