Phonology

Consonants

p b m f v t(t) d(d) n(n) s(s) z(z) tj dj sj zj k(k) g(g) ŋ(ŋ) x(x) h w y r(r) l(l) /p b m f v t(ʲ) d(ʲ) n(ʲ) s(ʲ) z(ʲ) tʃ dʒ ʃ ʒ k(ʲ) g(ʲ) ŋ(ʲ) x(ʲ) h w j r(ʲ) l(ˠ)/

Double consonants indicate Irish broadness/Arabic emphaticness.

The distinction between hard and soft /n l/ are neutralized before retroflexes /tʂ, dʐ, ʂ, ʐ/; both are pronounced as apical [ɳ ɭ] before retroflexes.

Native p occurs, although very rarely.
