Adamic can have as many as 24 [[w:Consonant|consonants]] and 12 [[w:Vowel|vowels]], with 2 [[w:Allophone|allophonic]] [[w:Tone (linguistics)|tones]] depending on the position of [[w:Stress(linguistics)|stress]]. Its syllable structure supports up to three sounds in a [[w:Consonant cluster|consonant cluster]] anywhere, as [[w:Syllable#Onset|onset]] or [[w:Syllable#Coda|coda]] (EX: ''akrpú'' "I destroy"), but does not accept [[w:Triphthong|triphthongs]]. | Adamic can have as many as 24 [[w:Consonant|consonants]] and 12 [[w:Vowel|vowels]], with 2 [[w:Allophone|allophonic]] [[w:Tone (linguistics)|tones]] depending on the position of [[w:Stress(linguistics)|stress]].

The most remarkable phonetic feature is the presence of [[w:Emphatic consonant|emphatics]], and the single phonological speciality are the transitions of a coloration table. | ||
