Notes

  1. ^ /ŋ/ alternates between nasal-plosive cluster /ŋg/ or /ŋk/ depending on speaker; /ŋg/ is especially common in careful speech.
  2. ^ Trill /r/ can als be realised as tap /ɾ/, in fast speech or otherwise in consonant clusters like gran.
  3. ^ /x/ is very commonly realised as glottal /h/; the Akademia Kiganimedi does not officially have a preference of realisation, in formal or in informal speech.
