===Consonant allophony=== | |||
====Sandhi==== | |||
The Ris phonology utilises a variety of sandhi procedures, collectively called ''saṃdhi'' in Ris. Sandhi refers to alteration of sounds at morpheme boundaries, that assimilate due to adjacent sounds. | |||
====Retroflex sandhi==== | |||
Retroflex sandhi, ''raṛisaṃdhi'', occurs at the morpheme boundaries or clusters containing a retroflex consonant. | |||

====Nasal sandhi==== | |||
The nasal sandhi, or ''anaśisaṃdhi'', works in a similar way to the retroflex one. The nasal stops assimilate to the place of articulation of the adjacent sound, including to retroflex consonants. | |||
