| |
| Modern Nurian has a typologically unusual distinction between dental and alveolar stops and between many types of fricatives:
| |
| *t d = alveolar stops
| |
| *th = alveolar spirants (slit fricatives, often pronounced as Welsh ll)
| |
| *ŧ đ = dental stops | |
| *ŧh = dental spirants | |
| *s z = dental/alveolar sibilants
| |
| *ṡ ż = postalvelar sibilants
