| Many speakers in the capital Houwá Thing Vîer merge the pairs /pʀ pʰʀ/, /tʀ tʰʀ/, and /kʀ kʰʀ/. /ǃ(ʰ)ʀ/ is often pronounced as [ǃ(ʰ)]. Some dialects merge /ʀ-/ and /ŋ-/ into a nasalized uvular flap /ʀ̆ⁿ/ or approximant /ʁ̃/.

| ===Tones===
| |
| Standard Neckthai uses 5 tones.
| |
| *Mid: ''raa'' /ʀāː/ [ʀaː˧] 'easy'
| |
| *Low: ''ràa'' /ʀàː/ [ʀaː˨˩] 'loud'
| |
| *Falling: ''râa'' /ʀâː/ [ʀaː˥˩˩] 'fruit'
| |
| *High: ''ráa'' /ʀáː/ [ʀaː˥] 'white'
| |
| *Rising: ''raaʔ'' /ʀǎː/ [ʀaː˨˩˦] 'vase'
| |
| | |
| ==Orthography==
| |
| Neckthai is written in a version of the [[Tergetian]] abugida.
| |
| | |
| A ''kháschàwijjálijn'' (''Gerschweierlein''; an analogue to the Thai ''thanthakhat'') is a %-like diacritic that marks consonants that are silenced in the Neckthai pronunciation of Wiebian loanwords. For example, ''wan'' 'body; physical object' is written ''wand<sup>%</sup>'' (reflecting Wiebian ''Wande'' 'body') with a ''kháschàwijjálijn'' over the ''d''.

| | |
| ==Loanwords==
| |
| Many {{PAGENAME}} words are derived from Wiebian and are pronounced close to [[Ancient Wiebian]]. For illustration of how [[Wiebian]] loanwords are treated in {{PAGENAME}}, this is the full name of Houwá Thing Vîer, the capital of Neckthailand:
