 ==Shared characteristics==
-Most Nentan languages share a series of plosives at the labial, alveolar, velar, and some guttural place of articulation. In Rokadong, these are /p t k ʔ/ and the voiced equivalents /b d g/. Imperial Karanesa originally lost its reflex of /ʔ/, but regained the sound through later loans (New Karanesa <q>). They also exhibit agglutinative morphology and Austronesian alignment.
