This page gives an extensive description of Iðâɣ phonological features.
Consonants
The consonant system distinguishes 20 phonemes, traditionally arranged in the following scheme:
| plosive | voiceless | ||||||
| voiced | |||||||
| nasal | |||||||
| liquid | |||||||
| fricative | dental | ||||||
| sibilant | |||||||
| alveolar | |||||||
| glottal | |||||||
| palatal | |||||||
| bilabial | |||||||
| velar | |||||||
| approximant | |||||||
| affricate | |||||||
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 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.
