Adamic can have as many as 24 [[w:Consonant|consonants]] and 12 [[w:Vowel|vowels]], with 2 [[w:Allophone|allophonic]] [[w:Tone (linguistics)|tones]] depending on the position of [[w:Stress(linguistics)|stress]]. Its syllable structure supports up to 3 sounds in a [[w:Consonant cluster|consonant cluster]] intervocalically and 2 elsewhere as [[w:Syllable#Onset|onset]] or [[w:Syllable#Coda|coda]] (EX: ''qfál'' "saying", ''akrpú'' "I destroy", and ''ka’n'' "year"), but does not accept [[w:Triphthong|triphthongs]]. The most remarkable phonetic and phonological features respectively are the presence of [[w:Emphatic consonant|emphatics]] and the systematic sound transitions of a [[Adamic Code#Coloration Table|coloration table]].

*a simple vowel system composed of ''i'', ''u'', and ''a'', with [[w:Vowel length|phonemic length]].
 
*systematic sound transitions dictated by a [[Adamic Code#Coloration Table|coloration table]].
