Phonology

Consonants

Labial Dental Alveolar Postalveolar Velar Glottal
hard soft hard soft hard soft hard soft soft hard
Nasal m ŋʲ ŋ
Stop voiceless p k ʔ
voiced b g
Affricate ts tsʲ tʃʲ
Fricative f θˠ θʲ s ʃ ʃʲ ç x h
Resonant v ɫ ɾ ɾʲ j

Only hard consonants are allowed word-finally.

Initial voiceless stops were traditionally not aspirated, but are commonly aspirated now.

Vowels

a/ia e/ie o/io å/iå y/i u/iu /a e o uə~iə i u/ (double letters were historical breathy vowels)

Unstressed vowel: /ə/ (spelled a if nonpalatalizing and i if palatalizing)

Phonotactics

Zero and C are the only permitted word-final codas.

Here is a list (modulo palatalization) by type of cluster (some clusters may be listed more than once):

  • Cl: pl, tl, tsl, cl, bl, gl, fl, chl, sl
  • Cr: pr, tr, tsr, cr, br, dr, gr, fr, thr, chr, sr
  • Cm: tm, thm, cm, chm, sm
  • Cn: fn, cn, chn, sn
  • Cng: fng, tng, thng, chng, sng
  • Cv: tv, thv, cv, chv, gv, sv, šv
  • sC: sp, st, sc, sm, sn, sng, sl, sr, sw
  • chC: chm, chn, chng, chl, chr

Voiced stops are not allowed to begin minor syllables in roots. This rule does not apply to proper names.
