The "weakened" variants of ''p, t, k'' (see [[{{FULLPAGENAME}}#Phonology#Consonants|Valian phonology]]) encountered after certain consonants and intervocalically are written as ''b, d, g'' something which may confusion at first as they are not fully voiced sounds (unlike say English).Like the vowels, the basic (non-weakened) consonants can all be doubled for the long versions of the consonants. Note, this means that there are no double ⟨b d g⟩ at all. The voiced labial fricative ⟨v⟩ is counted among the "weakened" consonantal sounds as it too cannot be doubled even though there is no 'full' form of it. | The "weakened" variants of ''p, t, k'' (see [[{{FULLPAGENAME}}#Phonology#Consonants|Valian phonology]]) encountered after certain consonants and intervocalically are written as ''b, d, g'' something which may confusion at first as they are not fully voiced sounds (unlike say English).Like the vowels, the basic (non-weakened) consonants can all be doubled for the long versions of the consonants.

As will be noted, many forms of the personal pronouns and related affixes are written as if non-weakened with ''t, k'' even though they are between vowels. Nonetheless, they are to be pronounced as normal weakened consonants. | |||
