Allophones or marginal phonemes include H [hʶ] and Š [ʂʶ]; this article won't reflect these. [ŋ̟ ɴ̟] occur as allophones of /n̪ n̪ʶ/ before dorsal stops.

Emphatic consonants are realized as uvularized consonants by most of the population but are realized as velarized (also turning emphatic dorsals into true velars) by older and more educated speakers.

Emphatic consonants are realized as uvularized consonants by most of the population but are realized as velarized (also turning emphatic dorsals into true velars) by older and more educated speakers. Emphatic voiced stops also tend to be less voiced than their nonemphatic counterparts.

"Voiceless" stops are consistently aspirated; voiced stops are usually weakly voiced (as in German and Irish) and are always devoiced after a voiceless or aspirated consonant; they are commonly devoiced, especially /ɢ{{adv}}/. Voiced geminate stops are realized as voiceless unaspirated. Geminated and word-final aspirated stops are preglottalized. Gemination is neutralized word-finally. Preuvular consonants are velar or uvular for some speakers; the velar realization is more common in rural areas.
