====Allophonic Variation====

* /x/ is realized as [ç] before /i~~/, /~~iː/, and /j/; as [h] before ~~all other vowels.~~

* /x/ is realized as [ç] before /i iː/, and /j/; as [h] before /e eː/ and /a aː/

* /m/ is realized as [ɱ] before /f/

* /l/ is realized as [ɫ] in coda

===Vowels===

Here are the vowels of Emutica, along with their orthographical representations.

====Allophonic Variation====

For the most part, the vowels are fairly stable, with the following exceptions:

* Adjacent to any palatal or when /i/ occupies the following syllable, /u uː/ and /o oː/ are fronted to [y yː] and [ø øː], respectively.

''ɲūyuku'' "He will break it" [ˈɲyːjʏkʉ]; ''moli'' "sword" [ˈmøli]

* /e/ is lowered to /ɛ/ before nasals, but /eː/ is not.

''tenos'' "if" [ˈtɛnos]; tēnos "water" [ˈteːnos]

* When unstressed in words with 3 syllables or more, /a/, /i/, and /u/ reduce to [ɐ], [ɨ], and [ʉ], respectively. [y] is realized as [ʏ]
