;Notes
*The voiceless allophones of stops are aspirated except after fricatives, as in English. The voiced allophones [b d dɮ dʒ g gʷ] (transliterated as '''b d đ ġ g gw''') are used after voiced sounds (i.e. vowels and resonants), UNLESS another voiceless obstruent (stop or voiceless fricative) follows it. The voiced allophones are actually slightly devoiced. The [g gʷ] allophones of /k kʷ/ were originally more widespread, but in Modern Standard Shalaian they have been deleted or weakened in many positions.
*/ʔ/ is a phoneme unlike in RP: more syllable types can have glottal reinforcement (see [[#Glottal_reinforcement]] for details).
*/r/ may be [ɹʷ] or [ɾ]. It tends to be voiceless after voiceless consonants.
*/l/ is velarized [ɫ] when not before a vowel and clear [l] otherwise. The rule applies whether or not the following vowel comes in the next word.
*/n/ assimilates to [ŋ] before /k/ or /ʔk/ but ''not'' before /x xʷ/.
*/tʃ dʒ ʃ/ are labialized [tʃʷ dʒʷ ʃʷ], as in English.
*/kʷ xʷ/ can occur in coda, unlike /Cw/ combinations.
*/ʕ/ is a relatively weak approximant like the Sephardi Hebrew /ʕ/; it's not as strong as the Arabic /ʕ/. Postvocalic /ʕ/ may be nasalized [ʕ̃], the nasalization affecting adjacent vowels.
*The cluster /ʕʔ/ is realized as [ʡ].
