Cuatham has a large number of click consonants, and is a monosyllabic tonal language with fusional morphology using mutations and tone changes. In-universe, it is written in its own orthography.

An unusual feature of {{PAGENAME}} phonology is that historically palatalized stops are reflected as clicks. (Retroflex stops are an exception.)

===Medials===
The medial is optional. There is one possible medial, /w~ɥ/.
===Nucleus===
There are three possible nuclei: /a/, /ə/ and zero. The nuclei display a range of different realizations depending on the phonetic environment:
*/a/ is realized as:
**/ɑ/ after a broad labialized consonant
**/æ/ after a palatal consonant, palatal click or /ɥ/
**/a/ otherwise
*/ə/ is realized as:
**/ɔ/ after a broad labialized consonant
**/e/ after a palatal consonant, palatal click or /ɥ/, or with /-j/ coda
**/ə/ otherwise
*Zero nucleus is realized as:
**/u/ if the medial is /w/
**/y/ if the medial is /ɥ/
**/ɨ/ if the medial is zero and initial is a dental click, a retroflex or a broad velar
**/i/ if the medial is zero, for other initials
===Coda===
The coda is optional. There are six possible finals in {{PAGENAME}}: /m n l r w j/.
