Allophony

Prenasalised stops [^mb ⁿd ^ŋg] persistently become non-prenasalised [b d g] after an obstruent.
Prenasalised stops [^mb ⁿd ^ŋg] become nasals [m n ŋ] before an obstruent or nasal.
[n] persistently become nasals and assimilate in place of articulation to a following obstruent or nasal.
Non-bilabial consonants other than [j w], i.e. [n t s ...], persistently become rounded [nʷ tʷ sʷ ...] before a rounded semivowel.
Vowels and semivowels [j ɨ ɔ ...] assimilate in frontness or palatalisation to a following consonant. Before a consonant other than [j], [j] are deleted. Before [j], [w] become [j].
Obstruents [^mb t kʷ ...] persistently assimilate in voice to a following obstruent. Before a voiceless obstruent, prenasalised stops become non-prenasalised.
Non-nasal vowels [i u œ ...] become nasal [ĩ ũ œ̃ ...] before a nasal phone.
Non-nasal vowels [i u œ ...] become nasal [ĩ ũ œ̃ ...] before a nasal vowel.
Non-pharyngeal consonants other than [j w], i.e. [m p z ...], persistently become front [mʲ pʲ zʲ ...] before a palatal semivowel. Velar obstruents become non-front; velar rounded obstruents or nasals become unrounded.
Non-nasal consonants [^mb tʲ zʲʷ ...] persistently assimilate in voice to a following obstruent or nasal. Before a voiceless obstruent, prenasalised stops become non-prenasalised.
Back vowels [u ũ ɔ ɔ̃] persistently become central [ʉ ʉ̃ ɞ ɞ̃] before a palatal semivowel.
Back vowels and semivowels [w̥ u ɔ ...] become central [ ʉ ɞ ...] before a palatal semivowel. Semivowels are deleted.
Non-glottal stop non-glottal fricative resonants [ɾ̥ ɾ̥ʲʷ lʲ ...] persistently assimilate in voice to a preceding obstruent.
Central vowels [ɨ ʉ̃ ɞ ...] become front [i ỹ œ ...] before a front consonant.
Front vowels and semivowels [j̥ y œ ...] become central [ ʉ ɞ ...] before a velar semivowel. Semivowels are deleted.
Non-nasal consonants [^mb dʲʷ ɣʷ ...] persistently assimilate in voice to a preceding obstruent or nasal. After a voiceless obstruent, prenasalised stops become non-prenasalised.
