Phonology
Consonants
Zanchulese has 28 phonemic consonants:
| Consonants | Labial | Alveolar | Retroflex | Palatal | Velar | Uvular | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nasal | /m/ | /n/ | /ɲ/ ⟨ny⟩ | /ɴ/ ⟨ṅ⟩ | |||
| Plosive | Voiceless | /p/ | /t/ | /t͡ʂ/ ⟨ty⟩ | /k/ | /q/ | |
| Voiced | /b/ | /d/ | /d͡ʐ/ ⟨dy⟩ | /g/ | /ɢ/ ⟨ȝ⟩ | ||
| Fricative | Voiceless | /f/ | /s/ | /ʂ/ ⟨sy⟩ | /x/ | /χ/ ⟨h⟩ | |
| Voiced | /v/ | /z/ | /ʐ/ ⟨zy⟩ | /ɣ/ ⟨j⟩ | /ʁ/ ⟨rh⟩ | ||
| Liquid | /w/ | /ɫ/ ⟨l⟩ | /j/ ⟨y⟩ | (w) | /ʀ/ ⟨r⟩ | ||
- Unlike in Cadwg, alveolar and postalveolar consonants don't allophonize when in contact with velar consonants.
- /w ɫ ʂ ʐ/ (spelled ⟨w l sy zy⟩) appear in place of Cadwg's /β̞ l ʃ ʒ/.
- Zanchulese also has the phonemes /t͡ʂ d͡ʐ ɲ ɴ q ɢ χ ʁ ʀ/ (spelled ⟨ty dy ny ṅ q ȝ h rh r⟩).
