Editing Udmurt language (section)

==Phonology==

The consonants {{IPA|/f x t͡s/}} are restricted to loanwords, and are traditionally replaced by {{IPA|/p k t͡ɕ/}} respectively. As in [[Hungarian language|Hungarian]], Udmurt exhibits regressive voicing and devoicing assimilations (the last element determines the assimilation), but with some exceptions (mostly to distinguish minimal pairs by voicing).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://udmurt.info/udmurt/lekcii/02.htm|title=2.
