Allophony

Nasals [m n ɲ ŋ] become nasals and assimilate in place of articulation to a following consonant other than [l].
[l] persistently become [l̥] after a voiceless obstruent.
Non-glottal stop non-glottal fricative approximants [l̥ l] persistently assimilate in voice to a preceding obstruent.
Non-nasal vowels [i u o ...] become nasal [ĩ ũ õ ...] before a nasal phone.
Consonants [ŋ͡m k͡p k ...] persistently assimilate in voice to a following obstruent or nasal and become voiceless word-finally. Before a voiced consonant other than [l], [x] are deleted. Before a voiceless consonant other than [l̥] or pause, nasals become non-nasal.
Back vowels [u ũ o õ] become unrounded central [ɨ ɨ̃ ɘ ɘ̃] before a palatal stop or nasal.
Alveolar voiced consonants other than [l], i.e. [n d z], become non-nasal approximant laterals [l l l] after an alveolar approximant.
Central vowels [ɨ ɘ a ...] become front [i e æ ...] before a palatal stop or nasal.
Palatal or velar obstruents or nasals other than [x], i.e. [ŋ͡m k͡p k ...], assimilate in labiality and labiodentality to a following consonant. Before a labial obstruent or nasal, rounded stops or nasals become unrounded.
Non-pharyngeal unrounded non-palatal consonants [ŋ͡m k͡p̪ g ...] become front [ɲ͡m c͡p̪ ɟ ...] before a palatal stop or nasal.
Consonants [ɲ͡m c͡p̪ g ...] persistently assimilate in voice to a preceding non-lateral obstruent or nasal. After a voiceless obstruent, nasals become non-nasal. After a voiced obstruent or nasal, [ç x] become [j ].
Non-nasal consonants other than [j], i.e. [c͡p b̪ f ...], persistently assimilate in voice to a following obstruent or nasal. Before a voiced obstruent or nasal, [ç x] become [j ].
Labial obstruents or nasals [ɲ͡m ɟ͡b pʲ ...] persistently assimilate in labiodentality to a following labial obstruent or nasal.
