 ===Consonants===
-{| class="wikitable"
+Skyrdagor has a phonemic inventory of 29 consonants. Many of them have "standard" spellings used in almost every instance (consonants like /m n ɮ/), but some consonants do not have a consistent way to be spelled due to etymology.

+Note that /ç ʝ/ are usually affricated as [c͡ç ɟ͡ʝ] word-initially - as for example in ''gjalyn'' "language" /ʝaɮɯn/ [ɟ͡ʝæ̯ɑɮɯn]. That means that in this position the distinction between /ç/ and /c͡ç/ is neutralized - c.f. ''hjezla'' "woman" /çɛzɮa/ [c͡çe̯ɛːɮɑ], ''kjivŋ'' "seed" /c͡çʊɪ̯ŋ/ [c͡çʊɪ̯ŋ].
