Comments:

There are complex interrelations between vowels
and consonants. Long and diphthongal realizations of
vowels appear to be predictable if palatalization of
consonants is taken as distinctive. Consonants can appear
geminate and in many clusters, particularly with /h/. The
Southern dialect described by Hassselbrink (1965) has been
interpreted in the light of the more phonetically detailed
but less phonological description of an Eastern dialect by
Kert (1971).
