/j/ is only phonemic in loanwords - which come predominantly from Chlouvānem, Skyrdagor, or (a minority) from Qualdomelic. | /j/ is only phonemic in loanwords - which come predominantly from Chlouvānem, Skyrdagor, or (a minority) from Qualdomelic. | ||

The phonemic status of /θ/ and /x/ is disputed, as they can be analyzed as intervocalic allophones of /t/ and /k/ respectively, but in present-day Fathanic, often also represented orthographically, vowel syncope has meant that they are not intervocalic anymore. Intervocalic /p/ similarly becomes [f], but /f/ was already a Fathanic phoneme.<br/>Moamatemposisy has an inventory similar to Fathanic, but merges intervocalic /θ ð/ with /h/ into the latter, and does not lenite intervocalic /k/. Young speakers of Moamatemposisy may merge /ŋ/ and /l/ into /ɴ̆/ and use [ʀ] for /r/ because of greater Chlouvānem influence. | The phonemic status of /θ/ and /x/ is disputed, as they can be analyzed as intervocalic allophones of /t/ and /k/ respectively, but in present-day Fathanic, often also represented orthographically, vowel syncope has meant that they are not intervocalic anymore.
