Allophony

Non-back vowels and non-velarised semivowels other than [a], i.e. [j i ɛ ...], become central [w̟ ɨ ɜ ...] after a non-palatal consonant. [j] become [w̟].
[n̻] become nasals and assimilate in place of articulation to a following obstruent or nasal.
Consonants [ŋ͡m t̻ d͡z̻ ...] persistently assimilate in voice to a following obstruent or nasal and become voiceless word-finally. Before a voiced obstruent or nasal, ejective stops become non-glottalised. Before a voiceless obstruent or pause, nasals become non-nasal; implosives become non-implosive.
[g͡b b d̻ g gʷ ɓ̰ ɗ̻̰ d͡z̻ f v s̻ z̻ x ɣ xʷ ɣʷ] become nasals after a nasal. Voiceless fricatives become stops; obstruents other than stops become nasals; implosives become non-glottalised; labiodental fricatives become bilabial; [d͡z̻] become [n̻]; [z̻] become [n̻].
Persistently before a non-nasal alveolar fricative, non-sibilant coronal stops or nasals other than [n̻] become non-nasal alveolar affricate sibilants; [ɗ̻̰] become [d͡z̻].
Labial obstruents or nasals [ŋ͡m k͡pʼ b ...] persistently assimilate in labiodentality to a following labial obstruent or nasal.
Front vowels and semivowels [j̥ i ɛ ...] persistently become central [w̥̟ ɨ ɜ ...] before a velar semivowel. Semivowels become rounded.
Obstruents [k͡p t̻ t͡s̻ ...] persistently assimilate in voice to a following obstruent and become voiceless word-finally. Before a voiceless obstruent or pause, implosives become non-implosive. Before a voiced obstruent, non-implosive ejective stops become non-glottalised.
Consonants [ŋ͡m b̪ f ...] persistently assimilate in voice to a preceding obstruent or nasal. After a voiceless obstruent, nasals become non-nasal; implosives become non-implosive. After a voiced obstruent or nasal, non-implosive ejective stops become non-glottalised.
Non-pharyngeal non-palatal consonants other than taps or rounded semivowels [ŋ͡m b ɗ̻̰ ...] become front [ɲ͡m bʲ ɗ̻̰ʲ ...] before a palatal semivowel. Velar obstruents other than labiodental obstruents or nasals become non-front; rounded consonants become unrounded; [k͡p̪ k͡p̪ʼ g͡b̪] become [k͡p̟ k͡p̟ʼ g͡b̟].
Vowels [i ʉ ɜ ...] become nasal [ĩ ʉ̃ ɜ̃ ...] before a nasal.
