Phonology
Tigal phonology is partially based on German and Irish.
Consonants
| Labial | Dental | Lateral | Velar | Uvular | Glottal | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nasal | /m/ | /n/ | /ŋ/ | ||||
| Stop/Affricate | tenuis | /p/ | /t/ | /k/ | |||

| voiced | /v/ | /z/ | /ɮ/ | /ɣ/ | /ʁ~ʀ/ | ||
| Approximant | /w/ | /l/ | /ʟ/ | ||||
Notes:
- The aspiration distinction is neutralized word-finally.
- /ʟ/ is phonetically a uvularized velar approximant [ɰʶ] which may be pronounced with compressed lips [ɰᵝʶ], like the Philadelphia English vocalized L. This article uses /ʟ/ for simplicity.
