There is only one series of plosives in Valian. The archiphonemes ||p t k|| have various realisations depending on the phonological context in which they surface. Usually unaspirated, they may become aspirated at the end of sentences and in pausa, e.g.,non-final ''päht''&nbsp;{{IPA|[pæht]}}&nbsp;(‘stone’)&nbsp;→&nbsp;sentence-final {{IPA|[pæhtʰ]}}). The plosives are furthermore lightly voiced between vowels and after /n/ /m/ /l/, e.g., ''sede'' {{IPA|[ˈsʲed̥ʲeˑ]}} (‘path’).
