Rokadong is a (C)V(C) language for the most part, though the final C in a word may also be clusters of a stop followed by /{{IPA|ɾ}}/. Phonetically, stop-rhotic sequences are [{{IPA|Bɾə}}]], however. V can be a short vowel, a long vowel, or a diphthong. A more full description of Rokadong's syllable structure would be (C)(j)V(ː/C/SR), where C is a consonant, j is /{{IPA|j}}/, V is a vowel, and SR is a stop-rhotic sequence. | Rokadong is a (C)V(C) language for the most part, though the final C in a word may also be clusters of a stop followed by /{{IPA|ɾ}}/.

/{{IPA|h ʔ}}/ are in complementary distribution, with the former only | /{{IPA|h ʔ}}/ are in complementary distribution [[Dialects of Rokadong|in most dialects]], with the former only permissible in the onset of syllables, and the latter only permissible in the coda of syllables, and only before consonants or at the end of words, though some dialects only apply this to a small subset of the Rokadong dictionary. Additionally, /{{IPA|ŋ}}/ merged with /{{IPA|n}}/ at the start of syllables, while the opposite occured with /{{IPA|ɲ}}/. Therefore, /{{IPA|ɲ ŋ}}/ are also in complementary distribution when not assimilated. However, note that a coda /ʔ ŋ/ is still kept in compound words, even when the next syllable doesn't have an onset, and vice versa for an onset /h ɲ/. | ||
