| |{{IPA link|t͡s}}{{efn|Short {{IPA|[t͡s]}} is in complementary distribution with short {{IPA|[t]}}, with the former appearing before {{IPA|/i/}} and the latter elsewhere; both are written {{angbr|t}} and could be analysed as belonging to the same phoneme {{IPA|/t/}}. Before {{IPA|/i/}}, long {{IPA|[tt͡s]}} occurs while long {{IPA|[tt]}} doesn't, so long {{IPA|[tt͡s]}} before {{IPA|/i/}} could be analysed as long {{IPA|/tt/}}. However, before {{IPA|/a/}} and {{IPA|/u/}}, both long {{IPA|[tt͡s]}} and long {{IPA|[tt]}} occur (except in some dialects, including that of Greenland's [[Ilulissat|third largest town]]). Long {{IPA|[tt͡s]}} is always written {{vr|ts}}, e.g. {{lang|kl|asavatsigut}} ‘you love us’, {{lang|kl|atsa}} ‘aunt (father's sister)’, {{lang|kl|[[Maniitsoq]]}}.}}
