;Notes
*Voiceless plosives /p t k/ are lightly aspirated in syllable onsets but are unaspirated after /s/. They're always unaspirated in certain areas.
*[ŋ] occurs as an allophone of /n/ before velars /k, g/.
*/r/ is an alveolar trill [r] or tap [ɾ].
*/l/ is dental [l̪].
*[z] occurs as an allophone of /s/ in /sb, sd, sg/.
*/ʕ/ is either a radical plosive [ʡ] or a radical approximant [ʕ]. The first realization is more common word-initially.
===Vowels===
{{PAGENAME}} had a five-vowel system with a quantity distinction.

===Stress===
Stress is word-initial, ignoring some unstressed prefixes such as pronominal object prefixes.
===Phonotactics===
====Allowed clusters====
*R = resonant X = obstruent
*Clusters allowed word-initially are in '''bold'''.
=====Geminates=====
*''mm nn ll rr φφ tt cc ss θθ''
=====RR=====
*'''''mn mr''' nl nv lm ln lv rl rm rn rv '''vl vr'''''
=====RX=====
*''mφ nt nθ ns nc nħ''
*''mb nd nδ ng nȝ''
*''lφ lb lt ld ls lc lg lȝ lħ''
*''rφ rb rt rd rs rθ rδ rc rg rȝ rħ''
=====XR=====
*'''''φn bn tn θn cn gn ȝn ħn'''''
*'''''sm sn sl sr sv'''''
*'''''φl bl tl dl cl gl ȝl ħl'''''
*'''''φr br tr dr θr δr cr gr ȝr ħr'''''
=====XX=====
*'''''sφ st sc sȝ''' sb sd sg''
*''cs ct ħs ħt''
=====XXR=====
*'''''sφr str scl scr sȝl sȝr'''''
===Phonological diachronics===
====Consonant correspondences====
*''b'' < PQ ''pʼ, b''
*''φ'' < PQ ''p''
*''t'' < PQ ''t, ƛ''
*''d'' < PQ ''tʼ, d''
*''θ'' < PQ ''ł''
*''δ'' < PQ ''ƛʼ''
*''s'' < PQ ''s, c, cʼ?''
*''c'' < PQ ''k, kʷ''
*''g'' < PQ ''kʼ, g''
*''ȝ'' < PQ ''q, qʷ, ɢ, ɢʷ''
*''ħ'' < PQ ''qʼ, qʷʼ''
*''h'' < PQ ''h''
*''m'' < PQ ''m, mʼ''
*''n'' < PQ ''n''
*''l'' < PQ ''l, λ''
*''r'' < PQ ''z, nʼ, lʼ, yʼ, cʼ''
*''v'' < PQ ''w, wʼ''
*''j'' < PQ ''y''
====Cluster resolution====
*''tp, tb, tk, tg'' > ''rφ, rb, rc, rg''
====Vowel reflexes====
Usually:
*{{recon|''a''}} > ''o''
*{{recon|''ax̌, əx̌, ax̌ʷ''}} > ''ā''
*{{recon|''aʔ, əx̌ʷ''}} > ''ō''
*{{recon|''ə''}} > ''e''
*{{recon|''i''}} > ''i''
*{{recon|''u''}} > ''u''
*{{recon|''ay''}} > ''ȳ''
*{{recon|''əy''}} > ''ae''
*{{recon|''uy''}} > ''ui''
*{{recon|''iy, iʔ, ix''}} > ''ī''
*{{recon|''aw''}} > ''ao''
*{{recon|''əw''}} > ''iō''
*{{recon|''iw''}} > ''iū''
*{{recon|''uʔ, ux, uw''}} > ''ū''
*{{recon|''Cx̌, Cx̌ʷ''}} > ''Ca''
*{{recon|''Cxʷ''}} > ''Co''
*{{recon|''Cx''}} > ''Cy''
*{{recon|''əʔ, əx, ix̌''}} > ''ē''
**or {{recon|''ix̌''}} > ''iā/ia/ea''?
*{{recon|''ux̌, x̌u''}} > ''ō''
*{{recon|''axʷ, ax̌ʷ''}} > ''ao''
*{{recon|''ix̌ʷ''}} > ''iō''
*{{recon|''ux̌ʷ''}} > ''ō''
*{{recon|''iyx̌, iyx̌ʷ''}} > ''iā''
*{{recon|''əyx̌, əyx̌ʷ''}} > ''eā''
*{{recon|''iy(ə)x''}} > ''iē''
