====Features====
====Features====
All vowels are either front or back in regards to the [±back] vowel feature. There are two sets of vocal harmony systems: a simple one and a complex one. The simple one is concerned with only the [±front] feature, allowing all front vowels in a word, regardless of rounding. The complex one is concerned with both [±front] and [±rounded] features, allowing only vowels that are front or back; additionally, all front or back vowels must be either rounded or unrounded. In a complex vowel system, both rounded and unrounded vowels cannot appear in a word.

Nasal Vowels adhere only to the simple vowel harmony system, with only the [±front] feature being considered, regardless of rounding. Nasal Vowels may accompany Oral Vowels in vowel harmony.

====Allophones====
====Allophones====
'''Archiphonemes'''<br>
* /J/ is a variable underlying palatal phoneme [j], with various realizations in certain syllabic environments.
** When [C-] or [Cj(C)], then /J/ is realized as [j]
** When [-C-], then /J/ is realized as [x]
** When [CV], where [V] is /i e æ/, then /J/ is realized as [ɟ]
* /H/ is a variable underlying palatal phoneme [h], with various realizations in certain syllabic environments.
** When [C-], then /H/ is realized as [h]
** When [-C-], then /H/ is realized as [x]
** When [CV], where [V] is /i e æ/, then /H/ is realized as [ç]
* /X/ is a variable underlying palatal phoneme [x], with various realizations in certain syllabic environments.
** When [C-], then /X/ is realized as [x]
** When [-C-], then /X/ is realized as [h]
** When [CV], where [V] is /i e æ/, then /X/ is realized as [ç]
<br>
'''Velar Allophones'''<br>
* /K/ is a variable underlying velar phoneme [k], with various realizations in certain syllabic environments.
* When [C(C)-], then /K/ is realized as [k]
** /kː/ is often realized as [q]
* When [-kC], where [C] is a sonorant or /v/, then [kˠ]~[q]
* When [CV], where [V] is /i e æ/, then /K/ is realized as [ɕː]
* /G/ is a variable underlying velar phoneme [g], with various realizations in certain syllablic environments.
* When [-C-], then /G/ is elided
* When [CU/O/A], then /G/ is realized as [w] or [g]
* Word-initial [ɣ-]
* When [CI], then /G/ is realized as [j] or [ɟ]
* Word-initial [ʑ-]
'''/J/ vs /I/'''<br>
/j/ and /i/ form minimal pairs in diphthongs. e.g. /ai̯/ vs. /aj/, or /jo/ vs. /i̯o/. Additionally, /j/ can function by itself as a syllable in place of /i/.
<br>
'''Labial Allophones'''<br>
* When [CC-], /ɸ/ and /β/ are realized as [f] and [v]
* When [Cv], where [C] is a non-labial voiceless obstruent, then [v] is realized as [f]
* When [Cʰv], /v/ is realized as [f]
* When /hv/, /h/ assimilates to /v/ and the impossible consonant cluster is reduced to a more manageable [ɸ] or [β]
<br>
'''[ʍ] Allophones'''<br>
[ʍ] is a very unstable consonant, and tends to morph into a labial fricative.
* when [#ʍ-], /ʍ/ > [ʍ]
* when [ʍI], then /ʍ/ > /ɸ/ or /β/, depending on the voicing of the obstruent
<br>
'''Voiceless Sonorants'''<br>
* Voiced Sonorants become devoiced before voiceless aspirate obstruents.
** e.g. khraz /kʰrɑ/ is realized phonemically as [kʰər̥ɑ] or [kr̥ɑ]
<br>


====Assimilation====
====Assimilation====
'''Sonorant Assimilation'''<br>
Sonorants assimilate to the place of articulation of the following consonant.
* [r l m] before labial obstruents
* [r l n] before dental, alveolar and postalveolar obstruents
* [ɽ ɭ ɳ] before retroflex obstruents
* [r̝ ʎ ɲ] before palatal obstruents
* [r l ŋ] before velar obstruents
<br>
'''Retroflex Assimilation'''<br>
Assimilation of Retroflex Obstruents occurs when in [C₁C₂] clusters; where [C₁] is a non-retroflex coronal obstruent and [C₂] is a retroflex consonant.
* If [C₁C₂], then a Geminate Retroflex is formed from left-to-right assimilation.
** [C₁] assimilates to [C₂]'s place of articulation.
** If /t d/ and /ʈ ɖ/, then /tʈ dɖ/ becomes /ʈː ɖː/
* If [C₂C₁], then a Geminate Retroflex is formed from right-to-left assimilation.
** [C₂] assimilates to [C₁]'s place of articulation.
** If /ʈ ɖ/ and /c ɟ/, then /ʈc ɖɟ/ becomes /ʈː ɖː/
<br>
'''Sibilant Assimilation'''<br>
Assimilation of Sibilants occurs when in [C₁C₂] clusters; where [C₁] is alveolar and [C₂] is a palatal.
* If [C₁C₂], then a Geminate Sibilant is formed from left-to-right assimilation.
** [C₁] assimilates to [C₂]'s place of articulation.
** If /s z/ and /ʃ ʒ/, then /sʃ zʒ/ becomes /ʃː ʒː/
* If [C₂C₁], then a Geminate Sibilant is formed from right-to-left assimilation. 
** [C₂] assimilates to [C₁]'s place of articulation.
** If /ʃ ʒ/ and /s z/, then /ʃs ʒz/ becomes /ʃː ʒː/
* If one of the two adjacent Sibilants is an Affricate, the Affricate changes its place of articulation.
* Affricate-Fricative [CC] clusters are pronounced the same as geminate affricate.
* Assimilation can be omitted in articulated speech, e.g. to avoid homophony.
<br>
'''Palatal Assimilation'''<br>
An Alveolar and an adjacent Palatal results in a Palatal Geminate.
* Full palatal assimilation occurs when the final [-C] is [j]
* Partial assimilation takes place if an Alveolar Plosive is followed by a Palatal
* Alveolar Plosives assimilate to their Palatal counterpart before [ɲ]
