- /f/, /h/, /ʔ/ are only used in loanwords.
- /v/ or /w/ are allowed instead of /β/.
- /tʃ/, /ts/ or /ɕ/ are allowed instead of /tɕ/.
- At the beginning of a word /dʒ/, /dz/, /dʑ/, /ʑ/ or /ʒ/ are allowed instead of /j/.
- /h/ is interchangeable with /χ/.
- In a hard context /q/, /ʁ/ (/ɣ/) are allowed instead of /k/, /g/ respectively.
- In a soft context /kj/, /gj/, /lj/ are allowed instead of /k/, /g/, /l/ respectively.
- In native words the difference between p/t/k and b/d/g, isn't very meaningful.

Vowel harmony
In a native Jaŋatil word each vowel must be either soft (front) or hard (back). This is called front/back harmony. The same is true for loanwords with the exception of letter i — we can combine it not only with the soft e, i, ö, ü but also with the hard a, ı, o, u. Thus any loanword written in the standard Latin alphabet can be borrowed without change.
There is no rounded/unrounded harmony in the written language. Therefore in native words the weak rounded vowels u, ü may only be in the first syllable. However, one should round ı, i while speaking when they come immediately after a rounded vowel.
Word stress
Word stress is always put on the last vowel. But if you want to emphasize a word then you may stress another syllable.
