The group of the plosive consonants is essentially scarce. It distinguishes two sub-groups: ''voiceless'' and ''voiced'', and the voiced sub-group includes the phoneme [g] alone.
The group of the plosive consonants distinguishes three sub-groups: ''voiceless'', ''aspirated'', and ''pharyngeal'', even though the voiced sub-group includes only the phoneme [ʡ]. No plosive phoneme display a distinction in voicing.  


The group of the nasal and of the liquid consonants is similarly scarce, but anyway quite developed. The group of the fricative is substantially richer in its amount of phonemes and points of articulation.  
The group of the nasal and of the liquid consonants is slighty poorer, but anyway quite developed. The presence of a developed group of a group of retroflex and affricate consonant is particularly noteworthy.


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.
The group of the fricative consonant is remarkably scarce, with a single sibilant phoneme, [s]. The phonemes [j] and [w] can have both semivocalic and full consonantal value.

The group of the plosive consonants distinguishes three sub-groups: voiceless, aspirated, and pharyngeal, even though the voiced sub-group includes only the phoneme [ʡ]. No plosive phoneme display a distinction in voicing.

The group of the nasal and of the liquid consonants is slighty poorer, but anyway quite developed. The presence of a developed group of a group of retroflex and affricate consonant is particularly noteworthy.

The group of the fricative consonant is remarkably scarce, with a single sibilant phoneme, [s]. The phonemes [j] and [w] can have both semivocalic and full consonantal value.
