The distinction between /kr tr tʃr/, as well as between /gr dʒr/, has been historically neutralised, leading to a varying pronunciation:
 
* ⟨kr⟩ may be heard as /tɹ̥ kɹ̥ tʃɹ̥/;
* In the most [[w:Basilect|basilectal]](''Kriyal'') varieties, the stop may be simply [[w:Aspirated consonant|strongly aspirated]], leaving /tʰː kʰː tʃʰː/;
* The realisation may be aspirated [[w:Retroflex consonant|retroflex]] /ʈʰ/, and similarly [[w:Voiceless retroflex affricate|affricated]] to /ʈʂ ʈʂʰ/.
The pronunciation of ⟨gr⟩ is less variable; there still exists a distinction between /gr~dʒr/ and /dr/, though /dr/ is extremely rare and only exists in certain words, such as '''''gr'''ag'' "stop (v.)" and '''''dr'''ag'' "drag queen".

  1. ^ a b /kr/ is pronounced /kw/ before back vowels /o u/.
  2. ^ The distinction between /kr tr tʃr/, as well as between /gr dʒr/, has been historically neutralised, leading to a varying pronunciation:
    • ⟨kr⟩ may be heard as /tɹ̥ kɹ̥ tʃɹ̥/;
    • In the most basilectal(Kriyal) varieties, the stop may be simply strongly aspirated, leaving /tʰː kʰː tʃʰː/;
    • The realisation may be aspirated retroflex /ʈʰ/, and similarly affricated to /ʈʂ ʈʂʰ/.
    The pronunciation of ⟨gr⟩ is less variable; there still exists a distinction between /gr~dʒr/ and /dr/, though /dr/ is extremely rare and only exists in certain words, such as grag "stop (v.)" and drag "drag queen".
  3. ^ Columbé /l/ is only pronounced /ʎ/ when syllabic.
  4. ^ Columbé /n/ is palatalised before /i/ (but not /iː/, which is an allophone of the diphthong /ei̯/).
  5. ^ Columbé /ɲ/ is pronounced as /j̃/ in intervocalic positions.
  6. ^ Bijun /o/ is pronounced /ɔ/ in word-initial syllables.
  7. ^ Bijun /o/ is pronounced /u/ in word-final positions.
  8. ^ The pronunciation of diphthongs /ei̯ oi̯ ou̯/ in Columbé has great variations; this table only shows the most common pronunciation. For more information, see Columbé § Phonology.
  9. ^ Columbé /ou̯/ is often pronounced as a short /u/ in closed syllables.
