Chlouvānem has a large consonant inventory, with 51 different consonants, divided into seven categories: labials, dentals, palatalized dentals, retroflexes, palatals, velars, and laryngeals. The Chlouvānem term for "consonant" is ''hīmbeyuiça'', a compound of ''hīmba'' (colour) and ''~~yuiça~~'' (sound).

There are also lots of regional variations for /ɦ/ at the end of a word, with a particularly common realization being [χ] (as in e.g. Līlasuṃghāṇa and Galiākina), like ''lilah'' /ɴ̆ʲiɴ̆aɦ/ [ˈɴ̆ʲiɴ̆aχ] (I/(s)he/it/they live(s)).

===Vowels - Camiyuisai===

The vowel inventory of Chlouvānem is fairly large too, consisting of 25 phonemes: 14 monophthongs, 9 diphthongs, and 2 syllabic consonants.<br/>

Phonetically, there are also nasal vowels, but they are phonemically /Vɴ/ or (word-finally) /Vn/ sequences. On the contrary, breathy-voiced vowels may phonetically surface as [Vh] or [Vχ] in some contexts (most notably before stops) in some pronunciations — e.g. ''tąkis'' /tɑ̤kis/ (a kind of herb) pronounced in Cami as [ˈtaxkʲis].

The term for vowel is ''~~camiyuiça~~'', from ''cami'' (great, large, important) and ''~~yuiça~~'' (sound), as these sounds are necessary in building syllables.

The term for vowel is ''camiyuisa'', from ''cami'' (great, large, important) and ''yuisa'' (sound), as these sounds are necessary in building syllables.
