/j w ɣ/ are all allophones of the phoneme /ɣ/; its pronunciation varies on position. After vowels /u | /j w ɣ/ are all allophones of the phoneme /ɣ/; its pronunciation varies on position. After vowels /u ɔ ø/ at the end of a word, it extends the vowel and alternates between /j~w/ depending on the speaker, as in ''bokhtjoe'''ğ'''''. In the medial position of a compound word, it typically only extends the vowel and is unwritten, as in ''bokhtj'''oe'''srenyeğ'' [[Help:IPA|[ˈb̥ɔxddʒøːˌsɽeɲə]]]. After word-final /e/, it simply turns /e/ into /ə/, as in ''srenye'''ğ''''' [[Help:IPA|[ˈsɽeɲə]]], though in some dialects it may also be pronounced with a /w/, hence the preservation of the letter. Before voiceless plosives it becomes /k/; before voiced, it becomes /g/. In either way, it is written ⟨g⟩. In all other places, it is pronounced as [[w:Voiced velar fricative|velar fricative]] /ɣ/. | ||
/dʒ/ is devoiced in word-initial and word-final positions, such as '''''tj'''oell'' [[Help:IPA|[ˈtʃøɫ]]] "blue" or ''mala'''tj''''' [[Help:IPA|[ˈmɑlɑtʃ]]] "gourd". In word-medial places, it is always voiced and additionally typically geminated, specifically after [[w:Velar consonant|velar]] [[w:Obstruent consonant|obstruents]] /k g x ɣ/ and the nasal /n/ (which is always palatalised before /c dʒ/), such as in ''brihṇdag'''tj'''eğ'' [[Help:IPA|[ˈb̥ɽihn̩dɑgddʒə(w)]]] "euphemistic" and ''bin'''tj'''im'' [[Help:IPA|[ˈb̥iɲddʒim]]] "he hops". | /dʒ/ is devoiced in word-initial and word-final positions, such as '''''tj'''oell'' [[Help:IPA|[ˈtʃøɫ]]] "blue" or ''mala'''tj''''' [[Help:IPA|[ˈmɑlɑtʃ]]] "gourd".
