Most speakers merge the pairs /pʀ pʰʀ/, /tʀ tʰʀ/ and /kʀ kʰʀ/. /ǃʀ/ is often pronounced as [ǃ]. Some dialects merge /ʀ-/ and /ŋ-/ into a nasalized uvular flap /ʀ̆ⁿ/ or approximant /ʁ̃/ and also simplify all Cr clusters to C.

A ''kháschàwijjálijn'' (''Gerschweierlein''; an analogue to the Thai ''thanthakhat'') is a %-like diacritic that marks consonants that are silenced in the Neck Thai pronunciation of Wiebian loanwords. For example, ''wan'' 'body; physical object' is written ϕ<sub>n</sub>!ϙ<sup>%</sup> (''wand<sup>%</sup>'', reflecting Wiebian ''Wande'' 'body') with a ''kháschàwijjálijn'' over the ''d''.
