This page discusses the phonology of [[Rokadong]].

Rokadong is a mora-timed, dynamic-accent language, with several notable features such as nasal assimilation. Due to its wide range, Rokadong phonology is also quite variable from dialect to dialect.

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}}/. Phonetically, stop-rhotic sequences are [{{IPA|Bɾə}}]], however. 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/SR), where C is a consonant, j is /{{IPA|j}}/, V is a vowel, and SR is a stop-rhotic sequence.

/{{IPA|h ʔ}}/ are in complementary distribution [[Dialects of Rokadong|in most dialects]], with the former only permissible in the onset of syllables, and the latter only permissible in the coda of syllables, and only before consonants or at the end of words, though some dialects only apply this to a small subset of the Rokadong dictionary. 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. However, note that a coda /ʔ ŋ/ is still kept in compound words, even when the next syllable doesn't have an onset, and vice versa for an onset /h ɲ/.

Line 145:

* The sequences /{{IPA|ji, wu, wo, uw, ow, uo, and ou}}/ are not allowed unless there is a syllabic break between them. If needed, the semivowel is dropped or becomes /{{IPA|v}}/.
