/t̪, n̪/ are heard as palatal sounds [c, ɲ] when before front vowels.

Voicing among stop sounds /p, k, t̪~c, t, ʈ/ as [b, ɡ, d̪~ɟ, d, ɖ] may also be heard in syllable-initial positions or when following nasal sounds.

/t̪/ can be lenited as [θ] when in intervocalic positions, and as [ð] in post-nasal, word-medial position.

Vowels are heard as [ɪ, ɛ~ə, ɐ, ʊ] when in lax positions.
