The group of the plosive consonants is essentially well developed and distinguishes two sub-groups: voiceless and voiced.

The groups of the nasal is slighty poorer, but anyway quite developed. The group of the liquid consonants is remarkably scarce, with the only phoneme [r].

The group of the fricative consonants is overall well developed and rich in points of articulation, but it displays no distinction between voiced and voiceless phonemes, except in the sub-group of the palato-alveolar consonants.

There are two affricate consonants and only one approximant phoneme, [j], which has a full consonantal value and it is never regarded as a semivowel.
