Stress informationWord stress is default penultimate, and a stress marker is used for other positions, most commonly initial and final.
There is also grammatical word stress/emphasis, where changing the stress/emphasis of a word in a sentence, of which there is always only one, will change the part of speech of said word, where for example: <FÈSĬ tàmyà> with the stress/emphasis on <fèsĭ> would mean something like "[I/You/They] Drink water", <fèsĭ TÀMYÀ> with the stress/emphasis on <tàmyà> instead would mean something more like "Liquid food", as <fèsĭ> has adjectival and noun meanings and <tàmyà> has verbal and noun meanings, among possibly other meanings. And the stress/emphasis in both of these examples marks said words as nouns. Word stress/emphasis is not marked in any way.

OtherNasal consonants can be informally pronounced as their respective place-of-articulation stop (/m-/>[b-] /n-/>[d-] /ŋ-/>[g-]) word initially
Intervocalic /n/ can be informally pronounced as [ɽ], [(Ṽ)ɽ̃Ṽ], [nd], [ɳɖ], and also as a retroflex percussive with a voiced retroflex stop release
Informally /v/ (and possibly /f/) is pronounced [w] after a vowel and in some dialects always as [w]
And also all voiceless stops, including the labialised ones and affricates too, are aspirated (while voiceless stops aren't

Additional NotesThe romanisation is officially all lowercase
The letter <ä> has in a lot of the words that it would have been traditionally used replaced with <w> instead, as they sound identical, some exceptions being <äs:àrš>, <äxìc>, & <aĭä(~aĭw)>
The letter <ä̇> ("a" with three dots above, like this ∴) is commonly also shifting into <w>/ɘ/ word initially and being respelled so, an exception is <ä̇š>/æʃ/[æʃ~aʃ~ɛʃ~ɘʃ], as opposed to the merger of <ȧ> (which is the same letter sound, but the other form of it) as [a~ɛ] instead of [ɘ] in most dialects
