| Pangali determines lexical stress via two categories, '''Onset Placement''' and '''Onset Articulation'''. The table below shows the subcategories for each in descending fashion, with the categories becoming "weaker" in attracting stress as one moves to the right.
| | Lexical stress in Pangali falls on the final syllable of the root, and this remains true even if derivational suffixes apply. |

| | |
| For example. the stress of */kVtVpV/ would invariably be [ˈkV.tV.bV] because velar consonants attract stress more strongly than either alveolars or bilabials. The same would also be true if the syllable order were reversed, thus */pVtVkV/ would be realized as [bV.dVˈkV]. However, if the prefix */ʔV/ is added, then the word would be stressed as *[ˈʔV.pV.dV.gV] since /ʔ/ attracts stress more than any other consonant in the word.
| |
| | |
| When Onset Articulation is factored in, then prenasalized consonants are stronger than any plain consonants, however geminated consonants are only greater than their plain counterparts and gain secondary stress when stronger plain placements are present within a word.
| |
| | |
| Thus /ᵐp/ will always attract stress over /ʔ/, /k/, or /w/ despite its placement of bilabial being "weaker" than the velar placement; a word such as /ŋutasːa/ is stressed as [ˈŋu.taˌsːa], not *[ŋu.daˈsːa].
| |
| | |
| Stress is placed on the initial syllable whenever all onsets in a word are identical; when two identical strong consonants are present in any word 3 syllables or longer then the most left-leaning strong syllable is stressed. In cases where an epenthetic /ŋ/ is inserted, the modified word does not change its original stress pattern.
