Phonology

Consonants

• Between and after vowels, the voiceless plosives /p, t, k/ are realized as voiced [b, d, ɡ].[2]
• /ç/ merges with /ʃ/ into [ʃ].[3]
• /r/ is uvular.[4]

Vowels

Apart from /ə/, all short vowels have a long equivalent, which has the same quality as the short vowel (excluding the /a–aː/ pair).[5]
