{{PAGENAME}} phonology is mostly based on Modern Standard German, with the addition of two clicks ''ŧ'' /ǃ/ and ''đ'' /ɡǃ/ which patterns similarly to ''t'' and ''d''. However, Ancient Wiebian allows more initial clusters than German due to a layer of Tie-Dye and Naengic loans in the vocabulary. Notably, initial ''ng-'' is allowed, as well as non-German clusters such as ''schng-'', ''tm-'', ''tn-'', ''tng-'', ''pn-'', ''png-'', ''kng-'', ''ngr-'', ''ngl-'', ...

;Notes
*Final stops are unreleased.
*/ʐ/ is pharyngealized retroflex [ʐˁ]. Adjacent to a consonant it becomes [ɻ], which may be retroflex or bunched.
*[x] is an allophone of /ç/ after back vowels.
*Consonants have a tendency to mildly palatalize before front vowels.
 
=====Vowels=====
Vowel length has been lost in the standard accent of AW.
