=Asso-Thrystian Languages=

Consonants

 * /ŋ/ and /ŋʲ/ are not found natively in Asso-Thrystian, but occur in loanwords mostly from neighbouring Noxorean languages.
 * /ɣ/ is an allophone of /x/ and always occurs intervocalically in unstressed syllables.
 * /rʲ/ while phonemic, only occurs in a few obsolete or archaic words and moribund dialects. It is no longer productive in modern day speech and rarely taught in formal education.
 * Asso-Thrystian forms a dialect continuum from north to south, with northern speakers pronouncing affricates as alveolars and southern ones as dentals.
 * /wʲ/ is not phonemic, but occurs orthographically in older writings and loanwords.

Vowels

 * /ə/ typically occurs in short unstressed syllables without tone, falling or trembling tone.
 * /e/ is sometimes pronounced [ɛ] by some speakers, and /o/ as [ɔ]. In northern dialects, /u/ is fronted to [ɯ] after palatalised consonants or /j/.
