Ipeyól phonology is markedly different from Spanish's due to a combination of diachronic and language-contact influences. Ipeyól has a richer consonant and vowel inventory.

# Ipeyól has a syllabic nasal, written in the orthography as <ń>. It, like the nasals themselves, generally assimilates to the place of articulation of the following consonant, such that ''ilsńbreru'', 'hat' is pronounced /il.zm̩.bɾe.ɾu/. The distinctions between the nasals are neutralized in some environments. For example, before a final /p/, /t/ or /k/ there is nearly always only one nasal sound that can appear in each case: [m], [n] or [ŋ] respectively. This effect can even occur across syllable or word boundaries.
# The voiceless stops /p t k/ are unaspirated.
# /t/ and /d/ are very often pronounced as a tap [ɾ] between a preceding stressed vowel and another vowel. The tap may occur in word boundaries.
# The phoneme /s/ is voiced before and after voiced consonants, as in ''ilsirrlu'' [il.ziɹ.lu].
 
Ipeyól has incorporated many words containing the voiceless alveolar affricates [t͡s] and  [t͡ɬ], present in many indigenous languages of Mexico
