  1. Secondary stress, allophone of /i/

  3. After aspiration, allophone of /ɛ/
  4. Fully unstressed, allophone of /i/
  5. After aspiration, allophone of /ɒ/
Other- Aspirated consonants are only realized with audible aspiration in coda position; however, an aspirated onset raises vowels as per the following scheme:
ɒ > ʌ; o > ɯ; ɛ > e
- The above vowel raising scheme also applies to syllables whose onset contains /ʃ/
- Unstressed [ʌ] is commonly realised as schwa, but not by all speakers
- Unstressed /i/ is realised as [ɨ], which is realised as schwa unless it carries secondary stress (constituents of compounds, incorporated nouns and some other morphological elements of verbs may carry secondary stress)
- Word-final schwa can be deleted
- /w/ and /j/ in coda can only follow the vowel directly, and they form the following diphthongs with the vowels:
j: [ɒ,ʌ]+ /j/ > [aɪ̯]; [o,u,ɯ] + /j/ > [ɔɪ̯]; [ɛ,e] + /j/ > [eɪ̯]; [i,y,ɨ] + /j/ > [i:] if stressed; otherwise [ɪi̯]
w: [ɛ,e] + /w/ > [eu̯]; [i,y,ɨ] + /w/ > /ju/; [ɯ,u] + /w/ > [u:] if stressed, [u] otherwiswe; [o,ʌ,ɒ] + /w/ > [aʊ̯] if stressed; otherwise [oʊ̯]
- /w/ is realised as [v] in onset; speakers in the “High South” area realise syllable-final /w/ as [f]
- Consonant assimilation rules, in sequence:
1. Geminate plain consonants block assimilation
2. Plain consonants assimilate next to aspirated consonants if possible (i.e. if they have an assimilated counterpart)
3. Plain consonants assimilate next to retroflex consonants if possible (i.e. if they have a retroflex counterpart)
