Consonants

 * Notes:
 * [m] is an allophone of /n/ before /p/ and /b/ - [ŋ] is an allophone of /n/ before /k/ and /g/.

Vowels
The Lonese diphthongs are: /aɪ̯/, /aʊ̯/, /oɪ̯/ and /oʊ̯/.

Stress
The stress is always on the last syllable of the word stem.

Phonotactics
Sylabble structure is (C)V(C). All words ending in a vowel and all prefixes ending in a vowel have to have a liaison consonant following them which is separated from the word with apostrophes. The liaison consonant is only pronounced when a hiatus would otherwise occur.
