Consonants
Idosian is unusual among Tsimulh languages in that it natively has a liquid consonant /ɹ/, whereas Proto-Tsimulh and most other Tsimulh languages do not natively have liquids. Idosian gained /ɹ/ via R-intrusion, influenced by an Old Shalian substrate; /ɹ/ may even occur word-initially (coming from words with null initial).
Modern Idosian has 25 consonants:
| Labial | Alveolar | Palatal | Velar | Uvular | Glottal | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| central | lateral | plain | labialized | plain | labialized | |||||
| Nasal | m /m/ | n /n/ | ŋ /ŋ/ | |||||||
| Stop | plain | t /t/ | k /k/ | kw /kʷ/ | ||||||
