Consonants
The consonant system distinguishes 26 phonemes, traditionally arranged in the following scheme:
| plosive | voiceless | ||||||
| voiced | |||||||
| palatal | |||||||
| nasal | |||||||
| liquid | |||||||
| fricative | sibilant | ||||||
| sibilant palatal | |||||||

| glottal | |||||||
| labio-dental | |||||||
| palatal | |||||||
| affricate | |||||||
| approximant | |||||||
The group of the plosive consonants is essentially rich and distinguishes three sub-groups: voiceless, voiced, and glottal.
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 some distinctions between voiced and voiceless phonemes.
There are two affricate consonants, [ʧ] and [ʤ]. The phoneme [w] can have both semivocalic and consonantal value, while the phoneme [j] has always a full consonantal value and it is never regarded as a semivowel.
