Note:
- [ʔ]1is not recognised as an independent phoneme but it is interposed between two vowels, or between two identical consonants.
- [ɱ]2 and [ŋ]3 are considered allophones of the normal nasal phonemes in front of [f]/[v] and [k]/[g]/[kʷ] respectively.
Vowels

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Front | Near- front |

Every vowel can be distinctively short and long.
No dipthongs are allowed. If two vowel are adiacent in a compound word, a glottal stop ([ʔ]) emerges to keep them separated.
