* Nasal consonants lose their contrast before stop consonants. However, they still contrast in morpheme-final position, so /{{IPA|ŋ}}/ is still considered phonemic.

* /{{IPA|s, z, (t)ʃ, dʒ}}/ palatalize to [{{IPA|ʃ~ɕ, ʒ~ʑ, (t)ɕ, dʑ}}]] before /{{IPA|i, j}}/, though in some dialects this is rarer for /{{IPA|s, z}}/.

* In Pahang Rokadong and Oceanic Rokadong dialects, [{{IPA|s, z}}] may vary with non-sibilant equivalents [{{IPA|θ, ð}}], especially morpheme-finally. The latter used to be phonemic, but merged with the former, now only appearing as an allophone of it. These dialects are described as "tékuhasa" ("all S"). In Continental Rokadong dialects, assibilation of /{{IPA|θ}}/ is complete, and only [{{IPA|s, z}}] remain.

Rokadong is a (C)V(C) language for the most part, though the final C in a word may also be clusters of a stop followed by /{{IPA|ɾ}}/. V can be a short vowel, a long vowel, or a diphthong. A more full description of Rokadong's syllable structure would be (C)(j)V(ː/C/Pɾ), where C is a consonant, j is /{{IPA|j}}/, V is a vowel, and Pɾ is a stop-/{{IPA|ɾ}}/ sequence. The /{{IPA|ɾ}}/ in an Pɾ sequence can be presumed syllabic, however, because in addition to being phoned as [{{IPA|Pɾə}}] in most dialects, whenever a syllable ends in a stop and the next syllable starts with /{{IPA|ɾ}}/, the preceding syllable is defective and cannot receive pitch accent. In other Nentan languages, similar things occur whenever two stop consonants (or a stop consonant and a consonant that evolved from a stop in that position) are adjacent, so /{{IPA|ɾ}}/ is sometimes analyzed as a stop consonant.

/{{IPA|h ʔ}}/ are in complementary distribution, with the former only being permissible in the onset of syllables, and the latter only being permissible in the coda of syllables, and only before consonants or at the end of words. Additionally, /{{IPA|ŋ}}/ merged with /{{IPA|n}}/ at the start of syllables, while the opposite occured with /{{IPA|ɲ}}/. Therefore, /{{IPA|ɲ ŋ}}/ are also in complementary distribution when not assimilated.

Rokadong's diphthongs are /{{IPA|aj aw oj ja jo ju}}/. Only the latter three may appear with a syllable coda after them.
