*{{IPA|/k/}} and {{IPA|/ɡ/}} are strongly palatalized before the front vowels {{IPA|/i/}} and {{IPA|/e/}} as well as {{IPAblink|ɥ}}, becoming acoustically similar to {{IPA|/t͡ʃ/}} and {{IPA|/d͡ʒ/}}.{{sfnp|Haig|Matras|2002|p=5}}
*When preceding {{IPA|/n/}}, {{IPA|/s, z/}} are palatalized to {{IPA|/ʒ/}}. In the same environment, {{IPA|/ʃ/}} also becomes {{IPA|/ʒ/}}.<ref>{{cite web|title=Kurdish language i.

===Pharyngealization===
*In some cases, {{IPA|/p, t, k, s, z/}} are [[pharyngealized]] to {{IPA|[pˤ, tˤ, kˤ, sˤ, zˤ]}}. For example, the word ''sed/ṣed'' is pronounced as {{IPA|[ˈsˤɛd]}}{{sfnp|Rahimpour|Dovaise|2011|p=75}}{{sfnp|Thackston|2006a|pp=1-2}}{{sfnp|Thackston|2006b|pp=2-4}}
*Furthermore, while {{IPA|[fˤ]}} and {{IPA|[ɡˤ]}} are unique to Central Kurdish,{{sfnp|Asadpour|Mohammadi|2014|p=109}} Northern Kurdish has {{IPA|[t͡ʃˤ]}}.{{sfnp|Thackston|2006b|p=2}}
