Consonants
The consonant system distinguishes 20 phonemes, traditionally arranged in the following scheme:
| plosive | voiced | ||||||
| uvular | |||||||
| nasal | |||||||
| liquid | |||||||
| fricative | sibilant | ||||||
| velar | |||||||
| glottal | |||||||
| palato-alveolar | |||||||
| palato-sibilant | |||||||
| palatal | |||||||
| labio-dental | |||||||
| affricate | |||||||
| approximant | |||||||
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.
