| * Fortis plosives /pː tː kː bː dː gː/ only appear intervocalically, where they are realized [p t k b d g].
| |
| ** In this position, lenis plosives /p t k b d g/ are realized [ɸ θ x β ð ɣ].
| |
| * Voiceless and breathy-voiced phonemes are only realized as such when followed by a voiceless or voiced consonant (with a vowel between) respectively, or the word boundary.
| |
| ** In these positions, the following vowel becomes voiceless or breathy-voiced.
| |
| ** In other positions, they merge with plain /m n ŋ l/
| |
| * Affricates [ts dz tʃ dʒ] appear as allophones of /s z ʃ ʒ/ after nasals and /l/.
| |
| * Only the phonemes /m n ŋ p t k f s l/ can appear word-finally and in syllable coda.

| === Stress ===
| |
| Tanshe features a pitch accent system. It follows Classical Tanzangi's rule of penultimate stress with very little native exceptions. Loanwords may follow a different stress pattern, marked by an acute.
| |
| | |
| == Orthography ==
| |
| Tanshe's Latin orthography has undergone multiple reforms since the time of Classical Tanzangi. Its use of the Dang Alphabet, however, has remained nearly the same, with a few exceptions.
| |

| |
| | |
| == Grammar ==
| |
| Tanshe's grammar is nearly identical to that of both Classical and Modern Tanzangi.
