- Palatal and velar together in Awngi form only one place of articulation, which is called palato-velar.
- Post-stopped fricatives are assumed to be single segments in Awngi for phonotactic reasons. Other linguists (e.g. Richard Wiese for German) have called such sounds suffricates.
- /h/ is found word-initially in loanwords in free variation with Zero.
- /r/ does not occur word-initially. It is pronounced as a flap when not geminate.
- Between vowels, /b/ is pronounced as a voiced bilabial fricative .
- /d/ is pronounced retracted, with slight retroflexion.
- /ɢ/ and /ɢʷ/ are usually pronounced as voiced uvular fricatives and .
- Although /d͡z/ and /d͡ʒ/ are phonetically realized as fricatives and in many environments, they are very much the voiced counterparts of the voiceless affricates with respect to phonological rules.
- The labialization contrast in the palato-velar and uvular consonants is found only before the vowels /i, e, a/ and word-finally.
