Allophony

Voiceless stops [k͡p pʼ k ...] persistently assimilate in glottalisation to a preceding non-nasal consonant other than an approximant.
Non-high vowels other than [a], i.e. [ɛ ɜ ʌ ɔ], become tense [e ɘ ɤ o] before a high semivowel.
Nasals [ŋ͡m m n̻ ŋ] become nasals and assimilate in place of articulation to a following obstruent.
Non-nasal consonants [k͡p t̻ʼ f ...] persistently assimilate in voice to a following consonant other than an approximant and become voiceless word-finally. Before a voiced stop or nasal, ejective stops become non-ejective; [s̻] become [ɹ̻]; [h] are deleted; [f] become [w].
Obstruents [k͡p b g ...] assimilate in voice to a preceding consonant other than an approximant. After a voiced stop or nasal, ejective stops become non-ejective; [f] become [w]; [s̻] become [ɹ̻].
Obstruents [k͡p b g ...] persistently assimilate in voice to a preceding consonant other than an approximant. After a voiced stop or nasal, ejective stops become non-ejective; [s̻] become [ɹ̻]; [f] become [w].
Voiceless stops [k͡p pʼ k ...] persistently become aspirated [k͡pʰ pʰ kʰ ...] after a glottal fricative. Ejective stops become non-ejective.
Non-nasal consonants [k͡pʰ t̻ʼ f ...] persistently assimilate in voice to a preceding obstruent or nasal. After a voiced stop or nasal, aspirated consonants become unaspirated; ejective stops become non-ejective; [s̻] become [ɹ̻]; [f] become [w].
[g͡b b d̻ g d͡z̻ f s̻] become prenasalised after a nasal. [f] become [m]; [s̻] become [n̻].
Unaspirated voiceless stops [k͡p pʼ k ...] persistently assimilate in glottalisation to a following non-nasal consonant other than an approximant.
Non-nasal consonants [^ŋg͡^mb t̻ʰ d͡z̻ ...] persistently assimilate in voice to a following consonant other than an approximant and become voiceless word-finally. Before a voiceless consonant other than an approximant or pause, prenasalised stops become non-prenasalised. Before a voiced stop or nasal, aspirated consonants become unaspirated; ejective stops become non-ejective; [f] become [w]; [s̻] become [ɹ̻].
[n̻] assimilate in resonancy and nasality and vibrancy and laterality to a following alveolar approximant.
Non-sibilant coronal alveolar stops or nasals [n̻ t̻ʰ t̻ʼ ...] are persistently deleted between an obstruent and a stop.
Back vowels and semivowels [w̥ ɯ o ...] become non-back [ɰ̟̥ ɨ ɘ ...] before a non-retroflexed alveolar consonant. Rounded vowels and semivowels become unrounded.
