Standard Ddiktas has a small phonemic inventory, contrasting fifteen consonants and just three vowel qualities. The Latin orthography for Ddiktas mostly follows the standards of the International Phonetic Alphabet, but represents IPA /ŋ/  as "ng" and /j/ as "y" (as in written English). "Dd" is used to represent an alveolar tap as in the American English pronunciation of "peddle."

The complementary allophones /p/, /b/, /d/, /d͡z /, and /t͡s / substitute for /f/, /v/, /ɾ /, /z/, and /s/ (respectively) in consonant clusters following nasal consonants (/m/, /n/, or /ŋ /), fricatives (/f/, /v/, /s/, or /z/), and liquids (/l/ or /ɾ /). /p/ is also substituded for /f/ before /a/, and /t͡s / substitutes for t in the word-final syllable /-ti/.

Phonotactics
The canonical syllable structure of Ddiktas is CV(C), where V is any vowel and C is any consonant, though /h/ never occurs as a coda. As such, vowel sequences do not occur in Ddiktas, and consonant clusters are short and occur only between vowels.
