Consonants
The consonant system distinguishes 24 phonemes, traditionally arranged in the following scheme:
| plosive | voiceless | ||||||
| voiced | |||||||
| palatal | |||||||
| nasal | |||||||
| liquid | |||||||
| fricative | dental | ||||||
| sibilant | |||||||
| post-alveolar | |||||||
| labio-dental | |||||||
| glottal | |||||||
| palatal | |||||||
| bilabial | |||||||
| velar | |||||||
| approximant | |||||||
| affricate | |||||||
The group of the plosive consonants distinguishes three sub-groups: voiceless, voiced, and palatal, even though the palatal sub-group includes only the phoneme [c].
The groups of the nasal and of the liquid consonants are slighty poorer, but anyway quite developed.
The group of the fricative consonants is overall well developed and rich in points of articulation, with a limited distinction between some voiced and voiceless phonemes. The phonemes [j] and [w] can have both a semivocalic and a full consonantal value.
