Notes:
- [ɱ] is an allophone of /m/ that occurs before /v/ and /f/.
- The stops (the plosives and the nasal ɱ) are not confirmed to exist as separate phonemes in any language. They are sometimes written as ȹ ȸ (qp and db monograms).
- This applies only to the XiNkuna dialect of Tsonga where it is a separate phoneme (with aspirated and unaspirate allophones in free variation. Please note these differ from the German bilabial-labiodental affricate which commences with a bilabial p.
- Again, found only in the XiNkuna dialect.
- Varies considerably between dialects. In some cases it's similar to the velar fricative [x].
