There were approximately sixteen consonants in Venetic, with four places of articulation--labial, dental, velar, and labiovelar--and voiced and unvoiced allophones in the plosives. All fricatives are voiceless and all liquids are voiced. CEWAL gives the following examples of Venetic consonants: (Note that the periods represent the syllabic punctuation) There was an additional letter, Image:Venetic-san.jpg (san), which may have represented a dental affricate /ts/ or perhaps a palatal fricate /sh/. However, the precise value is unknown.
