• Here the place is further back in the mouth, in the postalveolar or prepalatal region.

• There are contrasting alveolar and postalveolar apical consonants, the latter often called retroflex.

• There are also phonetically palatalized consonants (marked with an acute accent) that contrast with this; thus the distinction is made between palatal (postalveolar) and palatalized.

• Velars are reinterpreted as palatals, labialized postalveolar affricates are reinterpreted as retroflex consonants, and other labialized consonants are removed.

• The voiced postalveolar affricative sometimes occurs as an alternative to the fricative.
