    Syllable StructureThe basic syllable structure is (C)V(C), where C could be any consonant. In PBQ words can not end, or begin with consonant clusters. Internal consonant clusters are allowed up to two consonants.

    Cluster of voiced and unvoiced consonants are not allowed. The second consonant must assimilate to the first one. Voiced after unvoiced turns into unvoiced. Unoiced after voiced turns into voiced.
    Stress informationPenultimate
    Other/r/ turns into /ʁ/ after /q/,/ɢ/,/χ/, and back vowels.

    /q/,/ɢ/,/χ/ can not occour before front vowels. They turn into /k/,/g/,/kʰ/.

    Before back vowels /k/,/g/,/kʰ/ turns into /q/,/ɢ/,/χ/.

    Unvoiced obstruments such as /p/,/t/,/k/,/q/ become aspirated in word initial position followed by a vowel, and at the end of an consonant cluster if followed by a vowel.

    Nasal consonants after back vowels turn into /ŋ/ except if followed by a bilabial, alveolar, or uvular plosive.

    Nasal consonants before bilabial plosives (/p/, /b/) turn into /m/

    Nasal consonants before alveolar plosives (/t/, /d/) turn into /n/

    Nasal consonants before velar plosives (/k/, /g/) turn into /ŋ/

    Nasal consonants before uvular plosives (/q/, /ɢ/) turn into /ɴ/
