Litteral notes the following allophonic processes:<ref name="Litteral"></ref>
* /ɸ/ is voiced [{{IPA link|β}}] word medially.
* /x/ is voiced [{{IPA link|ɣ}}] word medially.
* /ɾ/ is sometimes retroflexed after /a/.
* Final unstressed vowels, especially /ə/, tend to be elided in speech after voiceless plosives /p t k/, prenasalized plosives /ᵐb ⁿd/, and /m n ŋ x/. Prenasalized consonants are pronounced voiceless and aspirated in this position.
