This inventory is strictly based on the standard dialect of Kalurilut, spoken in ''iRunguunap'' (and thus sometimes called ''saRunguunap''), the region of central-northern iKalurilut along the ''iPiarunggit'' river. Many dialects, especially in the south, as well as those spoken in areas where Kalurilut speakers are a minority, keep the voicing contrast in loanwords.

In ''saRunguunap'' or Standard saKalurilut, the affricate [t͡s], which usually only appears as an allophone of /tt/ before /i(ː)/ and of /ss/ before /i(ː) u(ː)/, may be considered phonemic due to its presence in a few Chlouvānem and Skyrdagor loanwords (e.g. ''runatsukai'' (petroleum) < Chl. ''natsukai'').
