Only hard consonants are allowed word-finally. Word final /v/ is pronounced [w].

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, kl, bl, gl, fl, chl, sl
• Cr: pr, tr, tsr, kr, br, dr, gr, fr, thr, chr, sr
• Cm: tm, thm, km, chm, sm
• Cn: fn, kn, chn, sn
• Cng: fng, tng, thng, chng, sng
• Cv: tv, thv, kv, chv, gv, sv, šv
• sC: sp, st, sk, 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.
