This following table is set up in a way that is slightly odd, but it reflects historical patterns and orthographic tradition, such as many of the sounds being under "ejective" despite plainly not being ejective. | |||

#Placed under "velar" for space purposes, still a true palatal. | |||
In Yeuric, any consonant can have a variety of coarticulations, those being /Cʲ, Cʷ, Cᶣ/, some of these are realized differently though: | |||
:/t, d, n, s, z, k, g, ŋ, x, ɣ/ are realized as /tʃ(ʷ), dʒ(ʷ), ɲ(ʷ), ʃ(ʷ), ʒ(ʷ), c(ʷ), ɟ(ʷ), ɲ(ʷ), ç(ʷ), ʝ(ʷ)/ when (labio-)palatalized. | |||
:/wʷ, wʲ, wᶣ/ are realized as /wː, ɥ, ɥː/, and /jʷ, jʲ, jᶣ/ are realized as /ɥ, jː, ɥː/ | |||

Yeuric's orthography is notoriously difficult, as it is substantially historic, to the point it seems to have never been updated even once, this results in spellings that are anything but phonemic, take /t͡ʃʷymni/ which has the spelling "tíumti". | Yeuric's orthography is notoriously difficult, as it is substantially historic, to the point it seems to have never been updated even once, this results in spellings that are anything but phonemic, take /t͡ʃʷymni/ which has the spelling "tíumti". | ||
