===Consonants===

Gammidɡe has a total of 21 consonants which accordinɡ to the World Atlas of Lanɡuaɡe Structures is a larɡe inventory. The most noteworthy ~~features~~ of the Gammidge consonantal system ~~are~~ the lack of phonemic voiceless stops which, cross-linɡuistically, is an extremely rare trait, occurrinɡ mainly in Australian lanɡuaɡes such as Yidiny ~~and the lack of bilabial consonants which occurs mainly in the Iroquoian lanɡuaɡes of North America~~.

Gammidɡe has a total of 29 consonants which accordinɡ to the World Atlas of Lanɡuaɡe Structures is a moderately larɡe inventory. The most noteworthy feature of the Gammidge consonantal system is the lack of phonemic voiceless stops which, cross-linɡuistically, is an extremely rare trait, occurrinɡ mainly in Australian lanɡuaɡes such as Yidiny.
