Proto-Flewtish is generally agreed to have had the following consonants in it, with the exception of the velar fricatives which may've been introduced later from aspirated stops, similar to Greek and other languages. The language possibly didn't differentiate between aspirated and non-aspirated consonants directly; Rather, consonants became aspirated only when they weren't within a consonant cluster and were followed by back or mid vowels. | Proto-Flewtish is generally agreed to have had the following consonants in it, with the exception of the velar fricatives which may've been introduced later from aspirated stops, similar to Greek and other languages.

The list of phonemes below may appear significantly larger than for most languages, due to the amount of dialects of Flewtish since the ancient years. Regardless, the existence of ''*o'', ''*e'' and the velar fricatives seem questionable: They only appear in a few dialects relatively recently and only under rare circumstances, hence they may have been missing from Proto-Flewtish. | |||
