The syllable forms around the vowel. Vowels never deviate from the way they are written, but consonants can quite regularly.
1) If any vowel directly precedes a nasal consonant, the vowel becomes nasalized.
2) If two stops follow each other directly, the second stop becomes a fricative and moves toward the first stop. If the first stop is voiced or voiceless, the new fricative conforms to that state of the glottis. For example, the syllable "pkyun" would be pronounced [psʉn] while the syllable "pkun" would be pronounced [pɕʉn].
3) If, after a vowel, a voiceless consonant is immediately proceeded by a voiceless stop, the consonant becomes voiced, and the stop becomes aspirated and labialized. For example, the word "atto" would be pronounced [ɑdthwo].
4) If a voiced consonant is immediately proceeded by a voiceless stop, the voiced consonant is dropped, and the stop becomes aspirated. For example, the word "lto" would be pronounced [tho].
5) If a voiced consonant is immediately proceeded by a voiced stop, both are dropped, and a voice fricative placed semi-evenly between the two replaces them. If there is an uneven gap between them, favour the voiced consonant. For example, the word, "izgoe" would be pronounced [ɨʝɜ]. ✎ Edit Article ✖ Delete Article
