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 is well developed, although distinguishing only two sub-groups: voiceless, and voiced.

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 with some points of articulation and an extended distinction between voiced and voiceless phonemes.

There are no affricate consonants. The phonemes [j] and [w] have a full consonantal value and they are never regarded as semivowels.
