基尼亚卢旺达语中的冠状和谐导致齿龈擦音变为后齿龈擦音，先于词干内的后齿龈擦音。齿槽音和牙槽后塞音、塞塞音和腭音阻碍冠状辅音，但据报道瓣辅音和非冠状辅音是透明的。使用电磁发音描记术收集基尼亚卢旺达语辅音产生的运动数据。在辅音间隔内计算由放置在舌尖和舌片上的接收器限定的线的平均角度。平均角度可靠地区分齿龈擦音和齿龈后擦音，齿龈擦音显示出相对于叶片较低的尖端。透明非冠状辅音期间的平均角度显示出比没有和声的上下文中相对于叶片更高的尖端，并且透明[m]期间的平均角度与后齿龈摩擦音期间没有显着差异。这与基尼亚卢旺达语冠状和谐延伸连续尖端叶片姿势的模型一致，导致其出现在“透明”片段中，但没有明显的效果。
Coronal harmony in Kinyarwanda causes alveolar fricatives to become postalveolar preceding a postalveolar fricative within a stem. Alveolar and postalveolar stops, affricates and palatals block coronal harmony, but the flap and non-coronal consonants are reported to be transparent. Kinematic data on consonant production in Kinyarwanda were collected using electromagnetic articulography. The mean angle for the line defined by receivers placed on the tongue tip and blade was calculated over the consonant intervals. Mean angle reliably distinguished alveolar and postalveolar fricatives, with alveolars showing a lower tip relative to blade. Mean angle during transparent non-coronal consonants showed a higher tip relative to blade than in contexts without harmony, and the mean angle during transparent [m] was not significantly different than during postalveolar fricatives. This is consistent with a model where Kinyarwanda coronal harmony extends a continuous tip-blade gesture, causing it to be present during ‘transparent’ segments, but without perceptible effect.
