The group of the plosive consonants distinguishes three sub-groups: ''voiceless'', ''voiced'', and ''aspirated'', even though the voiced sub-group includes only the phoneme [g].
The group of the plosive consonants and the group of the fricative consonants are essentially balanced, with the same number of phonemes. They considerably differ in their place of articulation. Both groups overall lack any voiced or aspirated phoneme.


The group of the fricative consonants is overall well developed, although less rich, like the group of the nasal and of the liquid consonants. The glottal consonant, [ʔ], while formally a plosive, is traditionally included in the fricative group. The phonemes [j] and [w] have a full consonantal value and they are never regarded as semivowels.
The group of the nasal consonants is overall well developed, with four places of articulation, while the group of the liquid consonants is notably poorer, with the noteworthy presence of the phonome [ɮ].
 
There is only one affricate phoneme, [ʦ].

The group of the plosive consonants and the group of the fricative consonants are essentially balanced, with the same number of phonemes. They considerably differ in their place of articulation. Both groups overall lack any voiced or aspirated phoneme.

The group of the nasal consonants is overall well developed, with four places of articulation, while the group of the liquid consonants is notably poorer, with the noteworthy presence of the phonome [ɮ].

There is only one affricate phoneme, [ʦ].
