Allophony

Non-glottal stop non-glottal fricative obstruents [p d s ...] assimilate in voice to a preceding obstruent.
Dorsal consonants other than [j], i.e. [k q ɣ ...], become rounded [kʷ qʷ ɣʷ ...] before a rounded vowel.
Nasals [m̥ m n̥ n] become nasals and assimilate in place of articulation between an obstruent or nasal and an obstruent or nasal.
Alveolar stops [t d] become affricate sibilants [t͡s d͡z] before a high tense vowel or semivowel.
[j] become [ɪ̯] after a lax vowel.
Before a front vowel or semivowel, unrounded non-affricate uvular stops or nasals become non-pharyngeal non-back non-palatal approximants; [χ ʁ] become [ɘ̯̥ ɘ̯].
Nasals [m̥ ŋ̥ ɴ̥ ...] become nasals and assimilate in place of articulation to a following obstruent or nasal.
Non-pharyngeal bilabial stops or nasals [m̥ m p b] persistently become front [mʲ̥ mʲ pʲ bʲ] before a palatal semivowel.
Non-front vowels and velar or uvular semivowels [ɘ̯̥̃ ɘ̯ ɤ ...] assimilate in backness or velarisation to a following uvular consonant. Before a tense semivowel other than [j], rounded vowels become unrounded.
[s z x ɣ xʷ ɣʷ χ ʁ χʷ ʁʷ l] become stops or nasals after a nasal consonant except a nasal.
Velar or uvular obstruents or nasals [ŋ̥ k x ...] assimilate in uvularity to a following back obstruent or nasal.
Short voiced fricatives other than [z], i.e. [ɣ ɣʷ ʁ ʁʷ], become approximants [ɰ w ɤ̯ o̯] between a vowel or semivowel and a vowel or semivowel.
Back vowels and semivowels [ɤ̯̥̃ ɤ̯̥ u ...] become central [ɘ̯̥̃ ɘ̯̥ ɨ ...] before a palatal semivowel. Rounded vowels and semivowels become unrounded.
[ɪ̯] become [j] before a high semivowel.
Voiced obstruents [b gʷ z ...] become nasals [m ŋʷ n ...] before a nasal consonant. Obstruents other than stops become nasals; [d͡ɮ] become [n]; [d͡z] become [n]; [z] become [n].
Consonants [m̥ t χ ...] persistently assimilate in voice to a preceding obstruent or nasal.
Non-front vowels and velar or uvular semivowels other than [a], i.e. [ɘ̯̥̃ ɰ o̯ ...], become front [ẽ̯̥ j e̯ ...] before a front consonant. Rounded vowels and semivowels become unrounded; [ɑ] become [a].
Near-high semivowels [ɪ̯̥ ɪ̯] become tense [j̥ j] after a high semivowel.
Consonants [m̥ kʷ ɘ̯̃ ...] assimilate in voice to a following obstruent or nasal.
