Pangali's consonant inventory weighs in at a respectable 14 consonants if one doesn't include geminates, 21 consonants if one does, and a final 26 if one also includes allophonic variations. Some unique features that may be noted are the presence of phonemic prenasalized stops and phonemic consonant length amongst the nasals, fricatives, and the lateral approximant. | |||
The vowels, on the other hand, number only three in terms of phonemic units. As with many languages with small vowel inventories, what vowels that Pangali does have are subject to large amount of allophonic variation. | |||
