====Fricatives==== {{IPA|/s/}} and {{IPA|/ɦ/}} are most common fricatives. They show full phonological opposition. {{IPA|[ɕ]}}, which is present in [[tatsama]] words, is replaced by {{IPA|/s/}} most of the times, when independent, and prevocalic {{IPA|[ʂ]}} is replaced by {{IPA|/kʰ/}}, {{IPA|[x]}}<ref name=":1" /> or {{IPA|/s/}}. {{IPA|[ɕ]}} occurs before {{IPA|/tɕ/}} and {{IPA|[ʂ]}} before {{IPA|/ʈ/}}. {{IPA|[x]}} and {{IPA|[f]}} occurs in Perso-Arabic loanwords, generally replaced by {{IPA|/kʰ/}} and {{IPA|/pʰ/}} respectively. {{IPA|[x]}} and {{IPA|[ɸ]}} also occurs in Sanskrit words ([[Visarga|jihvamuliya and upadhmaniya]]), which is peculiar to Maithili.
