Cochimí phonology

The phonology of the Cochimí language is likely explained as followed:

Consonants

		Bilabial	Alveolar	Post- alveolar	Palatal	Velar		Glottal
						plain	lab.
Stop	voiceless	p ⟨p⟩	t ⟨t⟩		c ⟨c⟩	k ⟨k⟩	kʷ	q ⟨ʔ⟩
	voiced	b ⟨b⟩	d ⟨d⟩		ꝼ ⟨ɟ⟩	g ⟨ɡ⟩	ɡʷ
Affricate	voiceless			s ⟨tʃ⟩
	voiced			z ⟨dʒ⟩
Fricative	voiceless	f ⟨ɸ⟩	þ ⟨s⟩	ʃ ⟨ʃ⟩	ç ⟨ç⟩	x ⟨x⟩	xʷ	h ⟨h⟩
	voiced	v ⟨β⟩	ð ⟨z⟩	ʒ ⟨ʒ⟩	ꞅ ⟨ʝ⟩	ɣ ⟨ɣ⟩	ɣʷ
Nasal		m ⟨m⟩	n ⟨n⟩		ɲ ⟨ɲ⟩	ŋ ⟨ŋ⟩	ŋʷ
Lateral			l ⟨l⟩		ȝ ⟨ʎ⟩	ƿ ⟨ʟ⟩	ʟʷ
Approximant			r ⟨ɹ⟩		j ⟨j⟩	ƣ ⟨ɰ⟩	w ⟨w⟩

Voiced consonants likely could have been either separate phonemes or phonetic alternates of voiceless sounds.

Vowels

	Front		Central	Back
	unrounded	rounded		unrounded	rounded
Close	i ⟨i⟩	y ⟨y⟩	ɨ ⟨ɨ⟩	ɯ ⟨ɯ⟩	u ⟨u⟩
Mid	e ⟨e⟩	ø ⟨ø⟩	ə ⟨ə⟩	ʌ ⟨ʌ⟩	o ⟨o⟩
Open	æ ⟨æ⟩	œ ⟨œ⟩	a ⟨a⟩	ɑ ⟨ɑ⟩	ɒ ⟨ɒ⟩

Mid vowels may be alternated with close vowel sounds.
