    Although traditionally all the nasal compounds (nasal-obstruent) were plosive and voiced, modern Kiswahili has adopted even fricative, affricate as well as voiceless obstruents in the second position. This is also reflected in the official orthography where alternate forms such as blanketi/blangeti or benki/bengi exist side by side.
