The group of the plosive consonants is essentially rich and distinguishes five sub-groups: ''voiceless'', ''voiced'', ''palatal'' and ''glottal'', even though the glottal sub-group includes only the phoneme [ʔ].

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 scarce, both in the amount of phonemes and in points of articulation, with an extended distinction between voiced and voiceless phonemes, except for the sub-group of glottal consonants.
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 is no affricate consonant. The phonemes [j] and [w] have a full consonantal value and they are never regarded as semivowels.
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.

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.
