Thanks for the pointer.  Do you know if this was _Languages and their
speakers_ or _Languages and their status_?  I can't find a
comprehensive list of contents for either one.

It was the former. I read the book about seven years ago, but looking at descriptions of it on the net today I now realize it had a distinct anthropological slant. Hence it's unlikely to contain the detailed phonological information you're seeking.
