Show allophones:
Aspiration
A voiceless supralaryngeal plosive is aspirated syllable-initially in a word-initial or stressed syllable
Approximant devoicing
If an approximant consonant follows a stop that is in the context for aspiration, instead of aspirating the stop, the approximant is devoiced
Initial devoicing
A word-initial voiced plosive is devoiced/lenis
Affrication of /tɹ/
/tɹ/ is affricated, becoming [tʃɹ]
Initial glottal stop
Glottal stop is inserted before a stressed word-initial vowel
Glottal stop allophone of /t/
Post-vocalic /t/ is realized as [ʔ] immediately before /n/ or /m/ or before a schwa-/n/ sequence
Flapping
A coronal stop (including /n/) becomes [ɾ] (or [ɾ̃] for /n/) between an approximant and vowel/glide if the following syllable is unstressed (with certain Withgott exceptions hard-coded)
Dark l
A lateral becomes dark (velarized) in the rime
Vowel nasalization
A vowel is nasalized before a nasal coda
Vowel devoicing
An unstressed monophthong is devoiced after a voiceless supralaryngeal stop
Syllabic consonants
Schwa plus a coda sonorant is realized as a syllabic consonant
