Speakers may use [[Arabic phonology|Standard Arabic phonemes]] for words for which the Arabic pronunciation has been learned. The [[Retroflex consonant|retroflex]] version of the /r/ sound may also occur and some dialects use /l/ in its place. [[Gemination|Geminates]] are very unusual in Nubi. These less common phonemes are shown in brackets.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1" />
