The consonant inventory among different Cerian dialects is fairly similar, with the most noticeable exception being Hilly Southeastern Cerian which are the only ones that didn't merge Íscégon /l/ into /r/ (the distinction is still kept everywhere in the spelling - e.g. ''áleron'' "road" /ˈaːreron/ even if 95% of speakers merge them). Many Southern Cerian dialects (incl. e.g. Šáritunen Cerian) also have /dʒ/ instead of /ʒ/, as Old Cerian did.

All consonants except voiced fricatives, approximants, /ʃ/, /tʃ/ and /h/ can be geminated.
All consonants except voiced fricatives, approximants, /tʃ/ and /h/ can be geminated. Note, though, that /ʃ/ is only geminated in two words, the irregularly spelled ''ešečen'' /ˈeʃʃen/ and ''fášečen'' /ˈfaːʃʃen/, respectively the habitual and continuous forms of the present subjunctive of ''íso'' (to be) - which are used in order to form the subjunctive of all other verbs.

Some Cerian dialects from Evandor may have kept closer values to Íscégon, notably for example with /iː/ which became /e/ in most Cerian dialects (and is thus represented in the orthography). So for example Šáritunen Cerian speakers pronounce ''refusécé'' "castle" (Mán. Cer. [refuseːˈkeː]) as [riːpʉseːˈkeː] - a different development from Íscégon ''rípsercé''. Similarly, ''rébé'' "stone" (< Ísc. ''rírbé'') is [riːˈbeː] in Šárituni (St. Cer. [re(ː)ˈbeː]), and ''jéče'' "word" (< Ísc. ''giécí'') is [dʒeːˈɕiː] (Mán. Cer. [ˈʒeːtʃɐ]).
