Phonology
The language permits only open syllables.
The syllable structure is ((n)[p/b/t/d/s/z/k/g/q])(r/l)[[i/y/ɨ/u](ː)/[(i̯/u̯)[e/ø/ɤ/o/a/ɒ](ː)(i̯/u̯)]]
Onset
The optional first element is a obstruent: labial, alveolar apical, alveolar laminal, velar or uvular (only voiceless); voiced or voiceless; prenasalized or not.
- ((n)[p/b/t/d/s/z/k/g/q])
- /nb/ is realized as [m], written ‹m›
- /np/ [ᵐp] is written ‹mp›
- /nd/ is realized as [n], written ‹n›
- /z ns nz/ are affricatized to [d͜z ⁿt͜s ⁿd͜z]

- [i/y/ɨ/u](ː)
- /y/ is written ‹ü› or ‹y›.
- /ɨ/ is written ‹î› or ‹ı›.
It can also be composed of a medial glide, a mid or low vowel and a coda glide. The length of the nuclear vowel is phonemic.

- /ø/ is written ‹ö› or ‹ø›.
- /ɤ/ is written ‹ê› or ‹ə›.
