All the nasals and liquids can be syllabic. Consonants can appear geminated except for /h/. That's about all I can think of right now.

Length is phonemic in all the vowels, though not in the syllabic consonants.


Syllable structure is something like (C)(C)V(V)(C)(C). Stress is invariably on the first syllable.

/l/ most commonly manifests itself as [ɫ] after back vowels. /r/ shows up as [ɹ] most frequently when syllable-final, and for some speakers (particularly around Šelavil) everywhere - for these speakers, /rr/ manifests itself as [r].

Alveolar consonants turn into retroflex consonants before or after /r/, whatever the phonetic realization of that r may in fact be.

That's about all I can think of for now.
