Allophony

Coronal consonants other than [ɭ], i.e. [n̻ t͡ʃ s̻ ...], persistently become retroflex [ɳ̻ ʈ͡ʂ̻ ʂ̻ ...] after a retroflex approximant. Alveopalatal obstruents become non-front.
Front vowels and palatal semivowels [j i] become non-front [ ɨ] after a retroflex consonant. [j] are deleted.
Retroflex consonants [ɳ̻ ɖ̻ ʂ̻ ...] become non-retroflex [ṉ d͡ʒ ʃ ...] after a front high vowel or a high palatal semivowel. Approximant laterals become non-coronal palatal semivowels; [ʈ̻ ɖ̻] become [t͡ʃ d͡ʒ].
Coronal consonants [n̻ ɖ̻ s̻ ...] persistently assimilate in laminality to a following coronal consonant.
[u] persistently become [ʉ] before a palatal semivowel.
Non-retroflex coronal consonants [n̻ t͡ʃ s̻ ...] become retroflex [ɳ̻ ʈ͡ʂ̻ ʂ̻ ...] before a retroflex consonant. Alveopalatal obstruents become non-front.
Non-back tense vowels and non-velarised tense semivowels [j i ɨ ʉ] assimilate in frontness or palatalisation to a preceding consonant. After a consonant, [j] are deleted.
[u] become [ʉ] before a front consonant.
Coronal consonants [n̻ ʈ d͡ʑ̺ ...] assimilate in anteriority and retroflexion to a preceding coronal consonant. After a retroflex consonant, alveopalatal obstruents become non-front. After a palatoalveolar obstruent or nasal, non-affricate stops become affricate sibilants; approximant laterals become non-coronal palatal semivowels.
Non-pharyngeal non-retroflex non-palatal or velar consonants [m d͡z̻ t͡ɕ̺ ...] persistently assimilate in palatalisation to a following consonant.
Coronal obstruents or nasals [n̻ dʲ t͡ʃ ...] become non-nasal approximant laterals [l̻ lʲ j̥ ...] after a coronal approximant. Non-palatalised palatoalveolar obstruents or nasals become non-coronal palatal semivowels; alveopalatal obstruents or nasals become non-coronal semivowels.
Vowels other than [u], i.e. [i ɨ a ...], become retroflex [ɨ˞ ɨ˞ a˞ ...] before a retroflex consonant. Front vowels become central.
Non-high lax vowels [a ã a˞ ã˞] become mid-low [ɜ ɜ̃ ɜ˞ ɜ̃˞] before a semivowel.
Voiceless obstruents [p t͡s̻ʲ s̻ ...] persistently become aspirated [pʰ t͡s̻ʲʰ s̻ʰ ...] word-finally.
Obstruents [pʰ t͡s̻ʰ t͡ɕ̺ ...] persistently assimilate in voice to a following obstruent and become voiceless word-finally. Before a voiced stop, aspirated obstruents become unaspirated; obstruents other than stops become stops; [s̻ʰ s̻ s̻ʲʰ s̻ʲ sʰ s sʲʰ sʲ ʂ̻ʰ ʂ̻ ʂʰ ʂ] become [d̻ d̻ d̻ʲ d̻ʲ d d dʲ dʲ ɖ̻ ɖ̻ ɖ ɖ]; labiodental fricatives become bilabial.
[u] become [ʉ] after a semivowel.
High semivowels [j̥ j] become mid-high [e̥̯ e̯] before a non-high vowel.
Nasals [m n ṉ ...] persistently become nasals and assimilate in place of articulation to a following obstruent or nasal.
Coronal consonants [n̻ d͡z̻ s̻ʲʰ ...] assimilate in anteriority and retroflexion to a following obstruent sibilant. Before a palatoalveolar obstruent, non-affricate stops become affricate sibilants; approximants become non-lateral non-coronal dorsal; non-palatalised approximants become front. Before a retroflex obstruent sibilant, palatalised consonants become non-front.
Mid vowels and semivowels [e̥̯ ɜ ɜ˞ ...] become high [j̥ ɨ ɨ˞ ...] before a nasal. Vowels become tense.
Non-retroflex non-front non-low vowels [ɨ ʉ ɜ ...] become front [i y ɛ ...] after a mid-high semivowel.
Non-nasal consonants [pʰ t͡sʰ s ...] persistently assimilate in voice to a preceding obstruent or nasal. After a voiced stop or nasal, aspirated obstruents become unaspirated; fricatives become stops or nasals; [s̻ʰ s̻ s̻ʲʰ s̻ʲ sʰ s sʲʰ sʲ ʂ̻ʰ ʂ̻ ʂʰ ʂ] become [d̻ d̻ d̻ʲ d̻ʲ d d dʲ dʲ ɖ̻ ɖ̻ ɖ ɖ]; labiodental fricatives become bilabial.
Labial obstruents or nasals [m pʰ bʲ ...] persistently assimilate in labiodentality to a following labial obstruent or nasal.
Unaspirated approximants [l̥̻ l ɭ̥ ...] persistently assimilate in voice to a preceding obstruent or nasal.
Non-nasal consonants [pʰ t͡s̻ʲʰ s̻ ...] persistently assimilate in voice to a following obstruent or nasal. Before a voiced stop or nasal, aspirated obstruents become unaspirated; fricatives become stops or nasals; [s̻ʰ s̻ s̻ʲʰ s̻ʲ sʰ s sʲʰ sʲ ʂ̻ʰ ʂ̻ ʂʰ ʂ] become [d̻ d̻ d̻ʲ d̻ʲ d d dʲ dʲ ɖ̻ ɖ̻ ɖ ɖ]; labiodental obstruents other than stops become bilabial.
Non-nasal consonants [pʰ t͡s̻ʲʰ s̻ ...] assimilate in voice to a following obstruent or nasal. Before a voiced stop or nasal, aspirated obstruents become unaspirated; fricatives become stops or nasals; [s̻ʰ s̻ s̻ʲʰ s̻ʲ sʰ s sʲʰ sʲ ʂ̻ʰ ʂ̻ ʂʰ ʂ] become [d̻ d̻ d̻ʲ d̻ʲ d d dʲ dʲ ɖ̻ ɖ̻ ɖ ɖ]; labiodental obstruents other than stops become bilabial.
