* Nasal consonants lose their contrast before stop consonants. However, they still contrast in morpheme-final position, so /{{IPA|ŋ}}/ is still considered phonemic. | * Nasal consonants lose their contrast before stop consonants.

* In Pahang Rokadong and Oceanic Rokadong dialects, [{{IPA|s, z}}] may vary with non-sibilant equivalents [{{IPA|θ, ð}}], especially morpheme-finally. The latter used to be phonemic, but merged with the former, now only appearing as an allophone of it. These dialects are described as "tékuhasa" ("all S"). In Continental Rokadong dialects, assibilation of /{{IPA|θ}}/ is complete, and only [{{IPA|s, z}}] remain. | * In Pahang Rokadong and Oceanic Rokadong dialects, [{{IPA|s, z}}] may vary with non-sibilant equivalents [{{IPA|θ, ð}}], especially morpheme-finally.
