Consonants
The Tieṅgiṅ consonant inventory is characterized by series of plain, palatalized, and labialized stops and nasals, as well as prenasalized consonants.

Vowels
Tieṅgiṅ mbaxn has a vertical vowel system with three levels. The realization of each of the three vowel phonemes varies with the environment in which the vowel is found, becoming more fronted following palatalized stops and rounded following labialized stops.

Phonotactics
Tieṅgiṅ phonotactics are relatively simple, being restricted to a maximum syllable of CVC. However, given the relatively complex nature of some consonant phonemes, the realization of Tieṅgiṅ syllables can nonetheless appear rather complex, complicated by the possibility of syllabic nasals.

Romanization
When labialized stops are followed by a vowel, the ŭ drops out, and is followed by either ă, o, or u, rather than normal a, e, or y.
