Ashouctian makes heavy use of consonant mutation in it's conjugations and when using infixes or suffixes. There are three types of mutation: the heavy mutation, the wide mutation, and the soft mutation. Each of the consonants is affected by each mutation, so this presents considerable irregularity. Mutation is reflected in the orthography. However, IPA is used in this article due to the complexity of the Ashouctian orthography. IPA is not listen in slashes or brackets as per standard notation.
