Consonants
All true fricatives (i.e. not h) tend to be heavily fricated. The dental fricatives and affricates are truly dental rather than inter-dental, as is the common articulation of dental sounds in English. Coronal consonants are apical. [x] is an allophone of /χ/ after a front vowel or coronal consonant. [l] cannot occur in the syllable onset. Unaspirated voiceless stops only occur as allophones of voiced stops. Obstruents regressively assimilate voicing to other obstruents immediately following them within the same syllable with the exceptions of [v], [ɮ] and [ʝ]. Word-final obstruents are devoiced.

Vowels
Diphthongs:

oa oːa  oɛ oːɛ   ea eːa   eo eːo   ɔɪ ɔːɪ   oi oːi   aɪ aːɪ   ai aːi   aʊ aːʊ   au aːu

Schwa is a reduced version of other vowels, primarily short [ʌ]. All vowels can also be phonemically epiglottalized.

Phonotactics
Syllable structure is (C)(C)(C)(C)(V)(C)(C)(C)(C)(C). Most syllables do have vowels and do not have massive consonant clusters, but syllables without vowels and/or with massive consonant clusters do sometimes occur. A voiced and voiceless obstruent cannot appear next to one another in the same syllable except for the sounds mentioned above in Consonants.
