Consonants
1. Voiceless stops /p,t̪,k/ are always aspirated in word-initial position as [pʰ,t̪ʰ,kʰ]. In word-final position, they are heard as unreleased [p̚,t̚,k̚]. 2. /s/ is heard as an alveolo-palatal fricative [ɕ]when occurring before front vowel sounds. 3. /ɾ/ is heard as a trill [r]when occurring within consonant clusters. 4. /j/ only occurs in diphthongs such as ⟨ai⟩, ⟨oi⟩, ⟨ui⟩. The ⟨j⟩ grapheme already represents /d͡ʑ/. 5. /ʔ/ is represented by interpunct ⟨·⟩ or apostrophe ⟨ʼ⟩.
Vowels
The ⟨i⟩ grapheme represents both /i/ and /ɯ/. An ⟨-i-⟩ syllable that ends with a consonant other than /ʔ/ (not forming part of a consonant cluster) is pronounced [ɯ], otherwise, it is pronounced [i]. While almost all other languages in the Bodo–Garo sub-family contrast between low and high tones, Garo is one of the sole exceptions. Wood writes that instead Garo seems to have substituted the tonal system by contrasting between syllables that end in a glottal stopand those that do not, with the...
