Phonology edit

Consonants edit

  • Sounds /ɡ, ʕ/ are mainly heard in loan-words.
  • /ħ/ may be heard as a voiced glottal [ɦ] when before voiced consonants.
  • The retroflex /ɻ/ may have four different allophones; as a flap [ɽ] when in intervocalic positions, as an alveolar [ɹ] when before front vowels, or as an alveolar tap or trill [ɾ, r] when in word-medial position following a consonant.[2]

Vowels edit

  • Short sounds /i, u/ when in unstressed positions are heard as a mid-central [ə].[2]
