/t d/ both become /t̚/ ([[w:No audible release|no audible release]]) in word-final coda positions, so {{l|beme|dat|da'''t'''}} is pronounced {{~~l|beme~~-ipa|dat̚}} while {{l|beme|data|da'''t'''a}} is pronounced with audible release as {{~~l|beme~~-ipa|data}}. This allophonic variation without audible release has also been described as [[w:Dental consonant|dentalised]]; thus, words like {{l|beme|dat}} have also been transcribed as {{~~l|beme~~-ipa|dat̪̚}}.

/t d/ both become /t̚/ ([[w:No audible release|no audible release]]) in word-final coda positions, so {{l|beme|dat|da'''t'''}} is pronounced {{bm-ipa|dat̚}} while {{l|beme|data|da'''t'''a}} is pronounced with audible release as {{bm-ipa|data}}. This allophonic variation without audible release has also been described as [[w:Dental consonant|dentalised]]; thus, words like {{l|beme|dat}} have also been transcribed as {{bm-ipa|dat̪̚}}.

Unlike in English, /ŋ/ can appear in onset positions, such as in '''''ng'''os'' "nose". The palatal nasal /ɲ/ usually occurs when differentiating between words that would be homophones in standard English, e.g. ''nap'' vs {{l|en|knap}}, which in Bemé became '''''n'''ap'' "rest (v.)" and '''''ny'''ap'' "punch (v.)".
