+'''Notes:'''
+¹ In native words, tenuis and voiced stops are in complementary distribution, with voiced stops occuring after nasals (which are always homorganic) and tenuis stops occuring otherwise. Therefore, prenasalized stops can be considered to underlyingly be tenuis stops preceded by homorganic nasals. However, they have been phonemized due to the introduction of nasal/voiceless stop clusters (including non-homorganic clusters) in loanwords.
