;Notes
*Voiceless plosives and affricates are lightly aspirated.
*The medial consonants /ɲˁ, cˤ, ɟˤ, çˤ, ʎˁ, jˤ/ vary by idiolect and may be retroflex or sulcalized retroflex [ɳ, ʈ, ɖ, ʂ, ɭ, ɻ] or pharyngealized pre-velar/"bunched" [ŋ̟ˁ, k̟ˤ, g̟ˤ, x̟ˤ, ʟ̟ˁ, ɹ̈]. The medial consonants are principally characterized by a low third formant (F3).

Belen has vowel harmony with front vowels (''i ė ȧ''), central vowels (''ı e a''), and back vowels (''u o ω'').

===Phonotactics===
*/l ɭ ɻ/ are not allowed in onset position.
===Morphophonology===
==Morphology==
===Nouns===
{{PAGENAME}} is topic-prominent, like Japanese and Korean.
*Final ''b, d, ḑ, g'' are lenited to approximants ''v, d̆, r, ğ'' before a suffix beginning with a consonant
**May be overridden by assimilations and phonetic rules.
*Suffixes beginning with ''b, d, ḑ, g'' are lenited to ''v, d̆, r, ğ'' after a final vowel.
*When two vowels come together upon suffixation, the hiatus filler is ''v''.
Here are the major noun clitics:
*''-nUm'' = plural  (''-ņ'', ''-ț'', ''ḑ'' + ''-nUm'' > ''-ņņUm'', ''-țņUm'', ''-rņum'')
**''nȧx'' /nɛx/ = person, ''nȧxnim'' /nɛxnim/ = people
**''med'' /məd/ = house, ''med̆nım'' /məð̞nɨm/ = houses

**''ŋω'' /ŋɔ/ = head > ''ŋωnum'' /ŋɔnum/ = heads
*''-dO/-d̆O'' = topic marker (''-t'', ''-ņ'', ''-ḑ'', ''-ț'', ''-ļ'' + ''-dO'' > ''-ttO'', ''-ņḑO'', ''-ḑḑO'', ''-ţţO'', ''-ļḑO'')
**''nȧxdė'' /nɛxde/ = as for the person
**''medde'' /məddə/ = as for the house
**''suḑḑo'' /suɖɖo/ = as for the woman
**''ŋωd̆o'' /ŋɔð̞o/ = as for the head

**''nȧxiļ'' /nɛxiɭ/ = person (accusative)
**''medıļ'' /mədɨɭ/ = house (accusative)
**''suḑuļ'' /suɖuɭ/ = woman (accusative)
**''ŋωvuļ'' /ŋɔwuɭ/ = head (accusative)
*''-mAy'' = locative
**''virė'' /wiɹe/ = sea; ''virėmȧy'' /wiɹemɛj/ = at sea
**''med̆may'' /məð̞maj/ = in/at the house
**''xωtmωy'' /xɔtmɔj/ = in the room
