Allophony
Before a palatal semivowel, back vowels become unrounded central; [w] become [j].
Non-ejective non-glottal fricative non-affricate stops [p t kʲ ...] persistently assimilate in voice to a preceding obstruent.
Nasals [m n ŋʲ ŋ] persistently become nasals and assimilate in place of articulation to a following obstruent or nasal.
Non-pharyngeal obstruents or nasals [m b gʲ ...] persistently assimilate in palatalisation to a following consonant and become non-front word-finally. Before a non-palatal consonant, palatalised velar stops or nasals become non-palatalised velar velar.
Non-ejective obstruents other than obstruent sibilants [p t ɟ ...] assimilate in voice to a following obstruent or nasal.
Palatal stops or nasals [ɲ c kʲ ...] persistently assimilate in whether palatal or palatalised velar to a following palatal consonant other than [j].
Low vowels [a ã] become mid [ɜ ɜ̃] before a palatal or velar voiced nasal.
Non-front vowels and velar or uvular semivowels [w ɘ̃ ɜ̃ ...] become front [j ẽ ɛ̃ ...] after a front consonant. Back vowels and semivowels become unrounded.
Non-high non-nasal vowels [e o ɔ ...] become nasal [ẽ õ ɔ̃ ...] before a nasal vowel.
Semivowels [j w] become mid-low [ɛ̯ ɔ̯] after a lax vowel.
Before a non-nasal alveolar fricative, non-sibilant coronal stops become non-nasal alveolar affricate sibilants; [d dʲ] become [t͡s t͡sʲ].
