	labial	dental	alveolar	post-alveolar	palatal	velar	glottal
stops	p|p| b*		t<t> d*			k<k> g*	(ʔ)
fricatives	ɸ* β*	θ<3> ð*	s|s| z*	ʃ<ş> ʒ*		x<x> ɣ*	h[h]
nasals	m<m>		n<n>		ŋ*
liquids		r* l<l>
glides	w<w>				y<y>

[p t k x ʃ s l θ t͡s t͡ʃ] → [β d g ɣ ʒ z r ð d͡z d͡ʒ] In between vowels, when a consonant is before the final vowel of a word, it is often devoiced allowing possibilities like [ɸ]. After nasals and liquids [p] just becomes [b], rather than [β].

Brackets show how sounds are written, asterisks show sounds that usually only follow after velar consonants
