*/tˠ, dˠ, nˠ/ are laminal denti-alveolar velarized [t̪ˠ, d̪ˠ, n̪ˠ]. | |||
*/tʲ, dʲ/ are palatalized laminal denti-alveolar [t̪ʲ, d̪ʲ] with alveolar allophones [tʲ, dʲ] before /rʲ/. | |||
*/nʲ/ has been variously described as palatalized laminal denti-alveolar [n̪ʲ] and palatalized laminal alveolar [n̻ʲ]. | |||
*/sˠ, sʲ, zˠ, zʲ/ are laminal alveolar [s̻ˠ, s̻ʲ, z̻ˠ, z̻ʲ]. | |||
*/lˠ/ has been variously described as pharyngealized apical alveolar [l̺ˤ] and velarized laminal denti-alveolar [l̪ˠ]. This article uses /l/ for simplicity. | |||
*/rˠ, rʲ/ are apical alveolar [r̺ˠ, r̺ʲ]. | |||
*/tʲ, dʲ, nʲ/ are laminal alveolar [t̻ʲ<sup>sʲ</sup>, d̻ʲ<sup>zʲ</sup>, n̻ʲ]; as indicated in the transcription, in case of the first two the tongue is raised enough to produce slight frication. | |||
*/lʲ/ is laminal alveolar [l̻ʲ]. | |||

Nurian shows an unusual vowel system, with rhotic vowels and a relative lack of phonemic front vowels. There is a three-way contrast between short, long and rhotic vowels. There is a considerable degree of allophony in low short and rhotic vowels. | Nurian shows an unusual vowel system, with rhotic vowels and a relative lack of phonemic front vowels.
