* Most consonant sounds may also have geminated variants as [Cː].
* Pharyngeal sounds [fˤ, mˤ, dˤ, zˤ, rˤ, nˤ, lˤ] are mostly heard as allophonic variants of /f, m, d, z, r, n, l/ within intervocalic and pharyngeal positions.
* Sounds /t, k/ may have aspirated allophones of [tʰ, kʰ] when in word-final and pre-consonantal positions.
* /k, ɡ, ɣ/ may also have labialized allophones as [kʷ, ɡʷ, ɣʷ].<ref>{{Cite book |last=Gabsi |first=Zouhir |title=An outline of the Shilha (Berber) vernacular of Douiret (Southern Tunisia) |publisher=Sydney: University of Western Sydney |year=2003}}</ref>
