Majorcan has an almost complete set of pairs of emphatic (''leat{{cda}}an{{cll}}'' [læ{{heth}}{{lowered}}ən{{den}}{{uvu}}]) and nonemphatic (''caol{{cll}}'' [q{{adv}}{{asp}}ɑjjəl{{den}}{{uvu}}]) consonants, formed from both native emphatic consonants (Classical Arabic T D S Z q became /d{{uvu}} z{{uvu}} s{{uvu}} z{{uvu}} ɢ/) and the contrast between broad (velarized) and slender (palatalized) consonants in borrowed Irish vocabulary. Irish broad and slender consonants are usually borrowed as emphatic and nonemphatic consonants, respectively.
