Consonants

The consonant system distinguishes 19 phonemes, traditionally arranged in the following scheme:

		IPA			Transcription
plosive	voiceless	[p]	[k]	[t]	p	k	t
	voiced	[b]	[g]	[d]	b	g	d
nasal		[m]		[n]	m		n
liquid		[r]		[l]	r		l
fricative	sibilant	[s]		[z]	s		z
	alveolar	[ʃ]		[ʒ]	š		ž
	alveolar	[ɕ]		[ʑ]	ś		ź
	glottal		[h]			h
	approximant	[j]		[w]	j		w

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.
