Notice that:
1. This T66 level is closer to the full specification of MEXBET than the levels T44 and T54 utilized at the DIMEx100 corpus
2. The phonemes /tl/ and /S/ (in red) belong to the aztec language (a.k.a náhuatl) and they appear many times
in proper names as: Xicoténcatl, Popocatepetl, Xicotepec, Iztlaccíhuatl, etc.
3. The allophone /
/ that has a MEXBET symbol /m_n/ has not
been include in this T50 Level of MEXBET.
4. In our previous papers, we refer to the level T29 as T22 and the
level T66 as T50 but this is incorrect because the number "22", "29", or "66" etc. must reflect the
number of phonemes and allophones considered in that level of MEXBET.
