Sibilant harmony

Changes notes in other dialects

(!ᵏ)ŋ(!ʲ,ʷ)(ˀ) > h or ɲ(ˀ) / #_ depending on dialect

ʃ ʒ > ɕ ʑ in some dialects

Some dialects delete second element of diphthongs before or after (varying by dialect) diphthongization

Vowel length/phonation/nasal vowels n some comination are retained in some dialects and lost in others

Some dialects shift final tone left (either making contours or shifted tone stacking to cause coloring), others have final tone > ⁵ with no trace of the old tone
