The phonological system of the modern Belarusian language consists of 45 (54) phonemes: 6 vowels and 39 (48) consonants. Some of the Belarusian consonants may form complemental pairs, differing only in palatalisation (called hard vs soft consonants). In some of such pairs, the place of articulation is additionally changed (see distinctive features below). Some of the consonants are always palatalised, and some are always unpalatalised.
