Phonology

Consonants

	Bilabial	Labio-dental	Alveolar	Post-alveolar	Retroflex	Velar	Glottal
Nasal	m		n			ŋ <nn>
Plosive	p b		t d		(ʈ ɖ)	(k) g <g>
Fricative		f <ff> v	s z	ʃ <sc> ʒ <zc>	(ʂ ʐ)	ɣ <gg>	h <c>
Implosive	ɓ <bb>		ɗ <dd>
Approximant			ɹ		ɻ <rr>
Lateral app.			l <l>		ɭ <ll>

Allophony and Orthography:

• Postalveolar fricatives /ʃ ʒ/ become retroflex /ʂ ʐ/ before back vowels /ɯ o/
• <c> becomes /k/ in coda position.
• The plosives and fricatives /t d ʃ ʒ/ become retroflex [ʈ ɖ ʂ ʐ] after /ɻ ɭ/, even at syllable boundaries.
• /l ɹ/ become retroflex [ɭ ɻ] when syllabic
• Before consonants, (including at word boundaries) syllabic [ɻ] can be written as <r> rather than <rr> as this is unambiguously syllabic. Before vowels, <rr> is used, e.g.

taar da [tɐɻ̩ ɖə] vs taarr allda [tɐɻ̩ æɭɖə]

• Unstressed [æ ɪ] become [ə].
• Unstressed [i] becomes [ɨ].
• Unstressed [a] becomes [ɐ].
• Unstressed [o] becomes [ʊ].
• [ʊ] is reduced when unstressed, but does not change quality.
