'''Low Braskani''' ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA/English /brəˈskɑːni, ˈskæ/]; endonym: ''Kuntini Ferkénaf'' [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Phonetic_Alphabet <nowiki>[ˈkʰuːn.tʰɪˌni fɛɾˈkʰeː.nəf]</nowiki>] or ''Ferkénix̮ini'' [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Phonetic_Alphabet <nowiki>[fɛɾˈkʰeː.nɪˌɣi.nɪ]</nowiki>]) is a semi-standardised register of a dialect continuum of mutually intelligible registers of Vulgar Braskani. The divergent ''Ferix̮ini'' dialect may represent a sister language of Low Braskani rather than a constituent of the dialect continuum. | |||

The voiced fricatives /z/ and /ɣ/ have allophonic realisations as the approximants [j] and [w] in syllable-initial, non-intervocalic position. Word-finally, they devoice to [s] and [x]. This distribution of allophones suggests an alternative analysis of the consonant inventory of Low Braskani where [z] and [ɣ] are intervocalic and syllable-final (excluding word-finality) allophones of phonemes /j/ and /w/: | |||
