• The voiceless plosives /p/, /t/, and /k/ are usually lightly aspirated.
• /d/ and /g/ are often fricated to [ð] and [ɣ] respectively in rapid speech, depending on the region.
• /ɾ/ is usually [ɽ], but [ɻ] is common in clusters. In Garlemald (since 3 7A) and Ala Mhigo, it is often a trill [r]. Other allophones include [l].
• /s/ is voiced in many contexts, such as clusters with voiced consonants and intervocalically.
• /v/ is usually [ʋ].
• /f/ has an allophone /ʍ/ before labialized consonants and rounded vowels.
• /n/ assimilates to following coronal and dorsal consonants, but /m/ is distinct in this context. (/n/ becomes [ŋ] before labials).
• Nasals, plosives, and /s/ can be geminated.
