Phonology

 * /r/ is realised as [ʙ] after bilabial consonants (/p/ and /b/).
 * In the standard (Maktir) dialect, /t d/ are palatalised to [t͡sʲ d͡zʲ] before /ɪ/.
 * Some dialects instead realise them as [t͡ʃ d͡ʒ].
 * /k g/ are realised as [q ɢ] before back vowels.


 * In the standard (Maktir) dialect, /ɪ/ is near-front and near-back.
 * In some dialects, it is realised as [i~ɨ].
 * The historical phonemes /i/ and /ɨ/ have merged into a single phoneme in almost all dialects; the only major dialect without the merger is that of Durakan.
