Notes
- ^ /ŋ/ alternates between nasal-plosive cluster /ŋg/ or /ŋk/ depending on speaker; /ŋg/ is especially common in careful speech.
- ^ Trill /r/ can als be realised as tap /ɾ/, in fast speech or otherwise in consonant clusters like gran.
- ^ /x/ is very commonly realised as glottal /h/; the Akademia Kiganimedi does not officially have a preference of realisation, in formal or in informal speech.
- ^ a b /e/ and /o/ are usually raised to /ɛ/ and /ɔ/ in most stressed syllables, apart from behind nasals, where they are always close-mid [e] and [o].
