Vowel harmony

In a native Jaŋatil word each vowel must be either soft (front) or hard (back). This is called front/back harmony. The same is true for loanwords with the exception of letter i — we can combine it not only with the soft e, i, ö, ü but also with the hard a, ı, o, u. Thus any loanword written in the standard Latin alphabet can be borrowed without change.

There is no rounded/unrounded harmony in the written language. Therefore in native words the weak rounded vowels u, ü may only be in the first syllable. However, one should round ı, i while speaking when they come immediately after a rounded vowel.

Word stress

Word stress is always put on the last vowel. But if you want to emphasize a word then you may stress another syllable.
