Comments: /f/ is restricted to loanwords. /ø/ and /y/ might also be marginally included. Palatalization might be analyzed as a suprasegmental feature (in this case the palatalized consonants, /ç/, /e/, /ue/, /ie/, /ii/, /ui/ are to be removed from the table). Both vowels and consonants have three phonemic lengths, but this can be alternatively analyzed segmentally or prosodically. Preaspiration is not phonemic.
