Phonology
Each syllable consists of:
 * An optional initial consonant
 * A mandatory vowel
 * An optional coda-position glide or consonant:, , or

Consonants

 * The voiced fricatives appear only for speakers who exhibit intervocalic lenition. Further detailed below.
 * are allophones of before the glide  and the vowels
 * are allophones of before the glide  and the vowels
 * is the allophone of before the glide  and the vowels
 * The unaspirated stops and affricates traditionally have the voiced allophones  word-medially, but a number of speakers take this medial lenition further:
 * A large number of speakers exhibit intervocalic lention of the aforementioned unaspirated stops and affricates to . It is important to note that these speakers still use the voiced stops and affricates after nasals.
 * A smaller number of speakers exhibit further lenition, but selectively. The affricates are lenited to fricatives, but the non-sibilant stops  are lenited to approximants  instead - keeping  and intervocalic  separate -, optionally pronouncing intervocalic  as  instead of.
 * The placeless stop appears only in coda position, and its exact realization depends on the environment:
 * Gemination of the following consonant before other non-nasal consonants, also causing the following consonant to become tenuis (voiceless unaspirated) rather than aspirated or voiced as they would normally be in an intervocalic position.
 * Silent otherwise
 * The placeless nasal appears only in coda position, and its exact realization depends on the environment:
 * nasalization of the preceding vowel word-finally and before other vowels
 * gemination of the following nasal, before a nasal
 * bilabial before
 * dental before
 * palatal before
 * velar before
 * labio-velar before

Vowels
The language also has nasal vowels, which are allophones of word-final sequences.
