'''Nota Bene:''' For the rest of this document, affricates will be presented without the double inverted breve. This is to make reading IPA easier. If it is necessary to specify that a consonant cluster is not an affricate, a hyphen will be used.
<br />
'''Marginal Consonant Phonemes'''
These phonemes are recorded in only a handful of roots or bound morphemes:
* /gʱ/ and /ɣ/
* /ɸ/ and /θ/
* /pʰ/ and /ʍ/
<br />
'''Aspiration'''
Czěcklíš has a distinction between non-aspirated and aspirated plosives and affricates (obstruents). Both voiceless and voiced obstruents can be aspirated. Non-aspirated obstruents are realized as unreleased obstruents [C̚], with little to no puff of air after release.
Aspirated voiceless obstruents are accompanied by a strong burst of air after release. Aspirated voiced obstruents are partially devoiced. Aspirate obstruents only appear before long oral or nasal vowels. Aspirate obstruents contrast with non-aspirate obstruents before /ɑː ɒː ɨː/ and /ɑ̃ː/.
Vowels are often murmured after an aspirated voiced obstruents. With aspirate voiced obstruents, this may be the only indicator that the obstruent was aspirated. This murmuring is not present with voiceless aspirate obstruents.
<br />
'''Schwa Epenthesis, Sonorant Devoicing'''
When [CʰC], where [Cʰ] is an aspirate obstruent and plain [C] is a sonorant, then a very weak schwa is inserted between the two consonants:
[CʰCV] → [CʰəCV]
Alternatively, the aspirate consonant becomes de-aspirated, and the aspiration is ‘carried over’ to the sonorant, which is then devoiced. The vowel gains a breathy quality.
[CC̥V̤]
Non-aspirate obstruents may insert a schwa here as well, but this varies by speaker
<br />
'''Palatal Offglide'''
Palatalization of labial, velar and alveolar consonants when /Ce/ has largely disappeared, with only ‹ě› /eː/ to mark its historical and orthographic effects on alveolars. In many dialects a palatal offglide /j/ persists when /i/ and /æ/ appear after labials, velars and retroflex consonants. This offglide is not phonemic, and most L1 speakers have difficulty noticing it, even if it’s been brought to their attention.
<br />
'''Nasal Vowels'''
Nasal front vowels do not cause palatalization of alveolars.
