   • 從塞擦音的比較看，藏緬語族中只有羌語以及與羌語比較接近的普米、嘉絨等語言分四套塞擦音，其他語支的一般只有三套，有的只有兩套。 [MSC, trad.]

     Comparing the affricates, in the Tibeto-Burman family, only Qiang and languages that are relatively close to Qiang, like Pumi and Rgyalrong differentiate four sets of affricates; other branches generally only have three sets, and some only have two sets.

   • 藏文創制初期，每個音節的上下前後加字都發音，所以由複輔音構成的音節特別多，據統計僅嘉絨的音節，由複輔音聲母構成的字詞已達200多個。 [MSC, trad.]

     When written Tibetan was first created, every additional symbol added above, below, before, or after a syllable was pronounced, so there were many syllables with constructed with consonant clusters. According to one count, within the syllables of Rgyalrong, words with consonant clusters were as many as over 200.

   • 與漢藏語系的其他語言相比，嘉絨的聲調系統比較簡單，而且茶堡話進一步地簡化了這個系統，變成了無聲調對立的語言，与古藏文一樣。 [MSC, trad.]

     Compared to other languages in the Sino-Tibetan family, the tonal system of Rgyalrong is relatively simple, and Japhug simplified this system even further and became a language without tonal contrasts, like Classical Tibetan.
